Just a few magical excerpts: 4 cylinder 1.8L engine with a Kompressor Supercharger
Wow I didn't know Kompressor was its own company![crazy](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/crazy.gif)
$7500 invested in it from custom upgrades that I did myself
Lets do the math: Ebay non HID Projectors $250+ Some sort of version of a brabus bumper $600 painted. S class like tails $400
Last time I checked that added up to about $1250
I wonder if the sweet rug floor mats up font or the never washed paint was part of the rare C230 Brabus package![rolf](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

'05 C230K SS
There's another thread about this car and ad from a while back. Looks like this guy is trying again with the same terrible ad. If he'd actually wash and wax/polish up the car before he took pictures, he'd probably get it sold a lot faster than trying to advertise it as a Brabus.

Some of my favorites are:
"You will not see another car with a Brabus Package on it period."
Because I have never seen anybody else ever put a Brabus bumper on their car.
"This car gets alot of attention and people think its a brand new Mercedes Benz."
Who thinks this?!?
"This package consist of Brabus bumpers, Bi-Xenon headlights, Brabus Fog lights. S-Class Tails, & LED Interior Lighting. I also have a custom exhaust as well that I have yet to install yet."
Most of those things have nothing to do with Brabus.
"custom exhaust headlights"

I don't understand why he wouldn't install all FOUR fogs. Looks weird with just two... I mean, if you're going to go all the way...

white and whiter
just so everyone in this thread knows. he could've easily racked up the $7500 he claimed if all those parts are authentic.
Brabus front and rear together are already $2400-2500 in parts. labor and paint probably another $800-1000 depending on the shop. Bi-xenon IF he gets it from the dealership are $2500-3000 for a set and again plus few hundred for the labor.
know your **** if you are going to talk crap about anyone's vehicle.

The car has over $7500 invested in it from custom upgrades that I did myself. This car gets alot of attention and people think its a brand new Mercedes Benz. This package consist of Brabus bumpers, Bi-Xenon headlights, Brabus Fog lights. S-Class Tails, & LED Interior Lighting.
The car doesn't look like 7,500 dollars was invested into it.
![](http://i38.tinypic.com/2a85b3l.jpg)
The bumper meeting the fender is way off. The bumper is a FAKE, there is no way Brabus will make something like this.
![](http://i33.tinypic.com/2kj0c2.jpg)
Look at the impact strip, uneven add on.
The kit is a Frabus
2 options:
The seller is lying about the 7.5K upgrade
Or
He is a complete idiot
But looking at his comment about custom this and custom that I think he is lying about the 7.5K upgrade.
Invested 7.5k but didn't have money for the mesh?

Also those HIDs look just like ebay headlights, I have seen several, and Im guessing based on the idea that the brabus kit is fake that so is everything else on the car. Not to mention the whole, "my car wasnt wrecked but I replaced the tail lights anyway" Yeah sure it wasnt.
Also the OEM BIX from what I saw have a bulbous turn signal indicator would be clear and not a constant orange like his are in the ebay pictures.
Not to mention since he has no issue straight up lying about it being an actual Brabus car, what would stop him from bs about every mod on the car, including the replacement tail lamps after a non accident that shows up on carfax? Sorry I dont believe it one bit and still.

If we are comparing to that then the bumpers are knock offs, the one on the silver car has the whole for towing and the ebay guys doesnt. Also silver one has empty whole next to the fogs where the ebay one has what looks like mounting points for something.
