lol!!! ok seriously, the red doesnt work. and are your exhaust tips supposed to be crooked? Not sure if that's the style, i mean it could be considering the weirdness of the color combo.
Love the color of your car, but I would maybe consider doing the Brabus lower body parts in the color of the Titanium wheels, the red I think is too strong for how aggressive looking the parts are. Great that you got all the Brabus parts to build the car complete, but I think it would compliment the package and suit the car better if they were color matched or done in the same color as the wheels.
Just my 02, to each their own, but just a suggestion.
When I worked for Brabus previously, we did many cars for the dealer where we did the lower body parts in the color to match the Titanium wheels, white S class models, black, and silver with the Deep Grey/Titanium color, this way the parts show on the car and you can see the difference.

Just a thought!
Thanks for the input.. The Brabus front kit and rear diffuser will be painted titanium to match the Brabus wheels. I agree the red is too aggressive. I will post pics of the new color when it's done.

Hey guys please stop with all the black ash wood trim pictures. I have just been told that my car has gone out to January delivery unless I cancel this option so that I can get an earlier dealer car. Really wanted this instead of piano black but cant wait that long.

Got the wheels upgraded to 19s though
Don't worry about it, I insisted on black ask and gave up a few other things I really wanted in order to get it, and while it's awesome, it actually looks better in the pictures than in person (the opposite of the cranberry interior). I'm not saying it doesn't look great, but you'll be perfectly happy with your build, and waiting for January sounds like a terrible idea.
Thanks LAC300. I just liked the contrast between the red and wood especially on the door panels and the piano is a pain to keep clean. So now waiting for:
C220 AMG line
Polar White
Premium pack - pano roof, memory seats
Cranberry leather
Privacy glass
19inch AMG wheels
It's a great combination, but you really can't go wrong with cranberry. The white/cranberry combination looks really nice too, looking forward to pictures when it arrives!
Here's the set up so far:
Brabus lowering spring
Brabus front lip
Brabus front emblem
Brabus front hood emblem
Brabus monoblock F Titanium wheel 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear
(10mm brabus front spacer and brabus lug nuts)
Brabus valve stem
Brabus rear diffuser
Brabus trunk spoiler (painted gloss black)
Brabus rear emblem
Brabus rear trunk logo
Brabus exhaust system
Interior:
Brabus door pin
Brabus sport pedal
Brabus floor mat
All chrome pieces has been wrapped in gloss black, brake calipers red, and AMG side mirrors in gloss black from MB (not put on yet)
I apologize that I failed to prop my car in front of my mansion and the lighting might not be optimal but I snapped this pic as I was walking out of the gym this morning...I beg for your forgiveness.
I would NEVER give up my three pointed Mercedes Benz star in front for the Brabus "B"...no way! Reminds me of the local hockey team we have here...the Bruins!
What I WILL be modifying on my 2015 C300 is the rear diffuser...I HATE that it's the same color of the car. I'll be having it painted gloss black like the C63 real soon...

hey, what's wrong with the Broonz, lol?? I bet you could beat parking tickets with that setup: take tickets written for a "Brabus" and show your Mercedes registration! Unless the clerk is a MB enthusiast the ticket's dismissed!

You're absolutely right! NOBODY in New England would think of Brabus. EVERYONE would think you are just another Bruins fan!(The Brabus "B" even looks like the Bruins "B". I myself have seen only one Brabus-modified MB (an E-Class sedan) and never the front end. And I live in a very wealthy suburb of Boston, in which some years ago, MB was the second most registered car.
your wheels look silver, aren't they granite/grey finished from the factory? Nice car.

Hi Bernard! I am quite interested in replacing the original grill with the diamond grill. I think it looks really awesome on your photo. Do you know how can I order it and where? MB dealers can provide it? Is it difficult to mount?

eBay...anywhere from $200 to $500 or so from what I've seen. There also seems to be two types depending on the color you choose for the center trim piece (chrome/black or chrome/silver).

I just asked the parts department of my Mercedes dealership the other day if Mercedes had the diamond grill for the W205 out yet...they said no.
As for install, I read it's not too hard, but you do have to take the front nose/bumper cover off to do it. My Mercedes dealership told they would install this "aftermarket" diamond grill for a nominal fee, but they would not warranty the part.
