Peep the latest pics of my brabus/carlsson combo kit.

Ok so here we have a brabus front and rear addon lips (fiberglass, but the general consensus stipulates that real brabus only came in polyurethane. I'd like to think otherwise, as the brabus markings, including part numbers and other incomprehensible German words were present. Oh well. REal or not, it's ok). We also have here, REAL Carlsson sideskirts.

They were used a bit beat up on the front and rear (cracks), but an ese, $400, and 2 weeks later, we got this:










The kit is a good fit, but no a PERFECT fit. It could be better, but as you can tell by the picture...well you can't really tell.
I took the pics at 6:30pm after class.

And no, the brabus emblem isn't crooked, it only appears to be so.

I agree! I'm lucky just to keep up with repairs, much less enhancements!

Sweet effort!

A few suggestions:

Debadge the car!!!
That brabus badge is too big! Its kind of "loud"

Get the clear front bumper lights

Black out the front grill, it'll look a lot more agressive

Get the 2000-2002 GPS antenna

Eliminate chrome and eliminate orange


The car still looks really nice though.

Agree...I was going to do that to my E55 to make it a SLEEPER E. To look like a 430 Sport...

real nice doc!

about those fiberglass lips, they could still be replicas even with the all the markings. I dont know how they do it, but I've seen replica fiberglass AMG bumpers with complete AMG markings and part numbers.

But they look good enough that i got a set for the 124.:p

I got that kit from a friend. Turns out it was a replica kit. I have sold it a couple weeks ago now.

I have those clear bumper lights on now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7916248573&category=33715

The car is lowered with H&R cupkit (which consists of springs and shocks). That setup, compared to the "usual" H&R springs coupled with the Bilstein sport shocks, is LOWER but is less stiff, thus is more comfortable.

The wheels on these pics are 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the back.

Check out the latest progresses there: http://www.cardomain.com/id/doctaamg

So at this point in time, the car is under reconstruction Wait till you see the results
