Doesn't work on AMG because I would suspect that you would have to cut the bumper where the fog lights are. The fog lights are wrapped perfectly for it and to be honest it might look a little bit tacky. Honestly it looks good in that picture and if it can be done to look like that I'm all for it. Wiring shouldn't be a problem, because the wiring is almost the same in all W204s (if I'm wrong please correct me)

2009 C300 Luxury
Since front bumpers are on the table I figure I'd better go ahead and ask...will the Carlsson front bumper fit on the luxury model? Or sport only?

MSRP on the door pins is $125 and there are two options on the shift knob, either one has a MSRP $395. There is not a large margin on these parts unfortunately, PM me for special pricing. If you take both we will offer free shipping within the continental USA. If you are interested please PM or email me. Thank you.

In terms of the exhaust Carlsson and Lorinser both require their rear bumper to work with their exhaust.

Like many other forum members, I have the 950 AMG bumper not a luxury model. There's a thread with a poll that shows you a breakdown of demographics between W204 owners on this site.

Also, I can get this part for the same price from Bottrop individually any day of the year. I don't think you're getting the whole concept of a group buy. They are NOT so you can make tens of thousands of dollars in profits selling at retail prices by manipulating a crowd.

I can't speak for Lorinser, but Carlsson does not require their rear bumper to install their exhaust.

The price is € 3.366,51 incl. VAT but WITHOUT working time which is calculated with 8 hours for the entire kit.

Looking forward to see you as a new member of the Carlsson family!

Best regards
Jochen Planer

Brabus offers these door pins to individual buyers for 80 euro with a 5% discount off MSRP. That's me picking up the phone and calling Brabus and having them sent tomorrow for $114.

I'm starting to see a trend here, the whole point of group buys is to reach volume discounting from the manufacturer and offer those prices to the group. If my single purchase discounting from the Company Headquarters is cheaper than your volume discounting as a distributor, well.. good luck.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
Brabus stuff is so ridiculously over-priced. And, they charge $500.00 more for their exhaust than Remus (and it is made by Remus) and the only difference is the quad pencil tips used on the Brabus system. It's one thing to pay for quality and quite another to pay for a name. I still want that shift knob though .

I am sorry, some dealers have a larger margin than others. We are starting to get into the aftermarket parts, thus our discount is not as large as larger dealers. I was just trying to help members out.
