The 2.6S kit use a four cylinders engine (the one from the 200K and 230K), not the a V6. they increase the engine capacity.

Its an overbored M111. Waste of money- for the extra 15HP it makes over an overboosted M111.

Daddymack,
as I understand it the reason the C240 is named "240" and not "260" even though it has a 2.6 L engine is because there is a C260 in europe (where I dont know) and they did not want confusion within the markets....that is what I have read/heard on the board before.....

how does it look?
i don't think it's PnP...
so does it go slightly over the bottom of stock bumper?
if so, then i think it may require more work...
I had front lip on my honda and the shop had to do some cutting and pasting...
not too sure about BRABUS...

post PIC first and i bet u'll get more replies...

Who's gonna paint them for you? I would just have the bodyshop install it. That way if the paint gets scratched they'll have to fix it.

You didn't get any instructions and materials with your purchase? Sorry, but that almost sounds more like replica than authentic.

Couple of weeks is not likely. Couple of months should be more correct.
Anyone know what the price is at Brabus in Germany? im gonna be there over the summer maybe i could pick one up....

BRABUS C-class?

What does a Brabus c-class look like? Saw a C going down the road with a big brabus badge on the back. It didn't look like anything fancy though...
