Sidenote: Am I the only one that dislikes the Brabus front bumper? I love the Bullit bumper above, but I can't stand the one in the Brabus kit. It think it's the bug-eye quad fogs...
I like this bullit bumper much more! but basically if u go with that kind of grill, u kinda have to go all the way and go further with the rest of the exterior mods, otherwise it looks out of place

Yeah, 1300 is a lot, however IF Brabus were to sell theirs it would cost as much and probably more. Not that the price still isn't crazy, but as of right now there isn't any other alternative. I never did ask how much their non CF version costs. I'm sure this could look just as good in a satin or gloss black for I'm assuming much less.

But the grille fits the Bullit perfectly imo. I'd love to see what it looks like on a C63 or modded C.

Hahaha +1 The first thing I thought of too

Not sure if I like the grill tho. I think it would look the best on white probably.
990 Euros is pretty in my opinion.

I give up on VATH... I think this company is a total RIP OFF...

My quotation is much much more expensive

"The CF grill costs 1.590,00 € and the black grill 1.240,00 €. Both price inludes shipping." Man if the original goods is 880.6 is the price that mean the shipping cost 360 euro?

The CF is much much more expensive

Now I check for CF panels and the price is 2.700,00 € and this is a price of me sending the my original panels. Here is quote from their CS "But normally we need your original parts, and then we make them of carbon. If we don´t have your original parts we have to order them and then it will be more expensive because we need new-original-parts!"

Schatz is expensive but VATH is just

I guess for the time being I just need to forget about this grille until other create a better one.

This kind of price tag I will surely get BRABUS Exhaust or BRABUS spoiler and they will have a greater value that this.

If you think Vath is a ripoff, you should check out the Brabus's version of the cf grill for the W204. Its selling at Euro1950. Check out this link

http://www.vaeth.com/press/020_029_SC09_4xC.pdf

As you can see, there's nothing cheap coming from the German tuners, and Brabus is always the most expensive, when you compare the same parts from other tuners.
