well i taught that ud say so, but my opinion is this :
when u install the brabus lip, u its very "straight" so u between a lowered car and a brabus lip installed car u cant c a huge difference.
and for the FAB lip, isnt it special ???? i mean there nthn alike on the market, no fake fabs on ebay, not 1 has it........;

If you want the fab and not the brabus why do ask everyone's opinion?

I gotta admit the FAB looks nice, but I would still have to go with the Brabus.

I haven't seen that many brabus front bumpers around. is it because they are so damn expensive?

I believe you can still get the Blip from K1 motorsports, like $600 unpainted . . . I think.

Oh and FAB Design FTMFL! ! !

Almost all the modded coupes here have Brabus lip, maybe you should try Fab lip and be different

Personally, I like Brabus lip better..Cleaner looking!

I guess it will all depend on your budget. Both look good IMO.

Listen guy I would just go with the brabus, unless you plan to get the rest of your car FabBED. Personally if you want the wide design and lips. Spend the 2 grand to get a widebody made from renn-tech.

I'd agree with that. However, I'd also add Carlsson into the mix. I love mine, and it's a little less conservative than the Brabus one, and a little less "interesting" than the FAB one.

C-class
I like the Fab Design fog light inserts, yet they are apparently not sold separately from the body kit.

Think it was about $850? Been several years since I bought it. But if you're looking to do modding inexpensively, it's not the best option. Their stuff tends to be on the high side.

I hate to be a negative nancy. The fab design parts are pretty much non existant. There were a few wings imported but other than that its mostly gone. Same thing with almost all parts for the coupe's. Thats why you have so much trouble finding them and if you do , they are at ridiculas prices. Best bang for your buck is the brabus front lip. It looks clean and you can actually buy one online with minimal searching. If your going to mod you c230 you may just want to wait on the lips and buy a pulley or a exhaust or 18 inch rims for that matter. Not trying to be negative, but you talking about parts that are hard as heck to come by.
