same one in my car as well, fits perfectly. Need some help with it? Maybe you're local to the bay area (doubtful but hopeful?). Yes the B lights up .

like I've said, they are the same shift-knob with two part numbers. It IS THE SAME. It's a tight fit and you'll have to use some force.

Get a heavy grit sand paper and start have a go at it as if it's your 'own' . Seriously though, if it's far from fit, get a return or sth.

As posted before, you can call Brabus and ask, the shifters for auto and manual are the same, they just have different part numbers for the decal that goes on the top of the gear shifter. I think you are running into another problem, just my 2 cents.

And most of the c classes are made in Germany if I'm not mistaken, just the right hand drive ones aren't. ( not sure ). Your car is no different than any other 2005 manual c class

2003 C-Class Sportcoupe
BrabusCcoupe aka Mike sold the hood emblem to me (1st pic). He ripped off a bunch of people and was later caught. The ****** retard sent me the standoff for the emblem, then said he forgot to pack the actual B emblem. He never sent the whole thing after waiting months. The hood emblem pictured above won't work on the coupe. I bought another emblem and put it on the rear trunk lid. He stole at least $300 from me (never sent climatronic also), ***** retard. Basically, he was using multiple log in names....

Sorry for that.

In fact there is no original Brabus rear trunk emblem for the coupe for sale.

There is only the front. (at least in europe). If you cannot find it and you still interested I can get it for you.

000-000-21 BRABUS emblem for bonnet, replaces MB-star € 50.00

Best Regards.

that is the trunk emblem, not the hood emblem. and that looks like the one from eBay. The real Brabus badges have a almost satin like shade in the metal part.

The price is a bit high for a grill. I would consider it if it was priced around $150-200 US dollars. Does anyone know if another vender offers this grill or something similar to it? I have found a carbon fiber grill for $105.95 on carpartswholesale.com Here is the link, let me know what you guys think.
