Yeah the V1 is still the bomb..I thin the M-A 18 inch wheel would look nice on a slammed W202..
edit, seems they forgot about the W202..lamo

They might look at your car before they let you buy one.
Kind of a snooty Brabus thing...

Hey Vader,

Did you actually use the euro plate when driving around? I heard that it is illegal. If you do, what did you use to attach the Euro plate on your bumper? Double-sided tape? By the way, I just got my Brabus plates yesterday too

Use velcro tape (industrial) then velcro your plate too.
If you get a ticket just slap the plate on and get it written off.
I did it before..only busted one time for no front plate, and its because I did not have the rear on either..lol

Brabus usually don't sell those plate unless you've bought quite some stuff from them or unless you know someone.

Dinan's a little bit different. They work on a point system which you can only get the Dinan badge if you have enough engine tuning.

cuz need to have some industrial ones so that the glue doesn't get soft and come off under the sun for extend period of time. I have my transponder for the community velcroed to the windshield and it comes off if I leave the car out in the sun too long. the glue gets heated and come off.

Frank, check my post above, yeah the transponder velcro is the suck.
It would not last for a second on a Euro Plate.
