AMG Vs Brabus

Guys, help me with some advice..
All opinion are welcome and appreciated

Ok, I have AMG bodykit already and my friends suggested me to buy Brabus bodykit because they said it will looks better. I think both bodykit has their own style. In my opinion, AMG bodykit with Euro Tech Lip will looks more sporty while Brabus bodykit appears to be more elegant for me.
It's a hard decision for me; so, just wondering if you guys could share your opinion or vote for one of those bodykits


The Brabus bodykit will looks like Mark's car (see attached pics, rr - fr)
and I believe you guys already familiar with AMG bodykit

Any advice????

I think the Brabus kit depends greatly on the color of the car (elegance vs. sporty). If you're interested, I might be able to find you a rear for cheap.

I've had both. There are way to many sport sedans around so IMO AMG is saturated. You don't see a whole lot of C classes around our area with the Brabus kit. Go with the Brabus!!

Too many to list
Stick with AMG, as Brabus is considered aftermarket and will only decrease your car's value. Also, AMG looks more aggressive.

i vote for Reiger, haha

to be honest, if I have amg kit already, i wouldn't want to spend more money for brabus kit, but i'll definitely add the Euro Tech lip on the amg front

good luck

I vote for Carlsson.

In all seriousness, get what you think looks best. How hard is that to decide?

2001 c200k with kleemann pulley
when i got my c200k stock ... i have look around for body kit options ... big name like carlsson brabus kleemann but at the end i chose amg cos i think its better known and look good too ... some of the body kit like carlsson was acturally made of fibre glass which turns me away ... well thats my opinion and with the amg cf lip it will look even better ... and why waste more money when u already have a good looking kit ... spend it on the brake engine etc

I was considering a Brabus kit in the future because I love the way Jose's car looks, but after I saw a full Brabus in silver... not so much. He's right, it really does depend on the color. I think silver cars look best with the AMG kit, but darker colors can get away with pretty much anything.

A full white Carlsson RS 203 would look killer if anyone rolled around in that - but yeah, I paired up with the Brabus largely because I knew I had a Black Opal, darker/sportier colored car.
