Sacramento Car Meet - Brabus C32

What's goin' on everybody?

I just had to post this because I wasn't able to find anything about it on a search.

Last weekend, there was an Import/Euro Auto Show and Car Meet in Sacramento (not sure of the venue). My cousin showed his Mitsubishi and took a pic of a C32 with Brabus Front end and Brabus badge on the back (w/C32 AMG emblems on back as well).

Just wondering if this is anybody's car in MBWorld?



Not sure if anybody on here is the owner, but just thought I'd find out since you seem to have been the only C that was showing.

Also, this is just a curiosity question, why don't you take off the C32 AMG badges, since you put the Brabus emblem on replacing the MB star? Just curious.

hi that's my car.

did your cousin have a white Evo MR? if so i talked to him a bit, he was a nice guy. i don't want to replace the C32 AMG badges because...it is too easy to replicate the C32 and i still like some recognition that it's not just a normal C. because, i have seen normal C-class with Brabus front bumper near me, so i have to distinguish myself a bit. plus, i wanted a flat hood emblem anyway, and the stock rear roundel IMO is too big for the car. and i like the way the Brabus is black badges, and my car has some Brabus parts on. i also think the small "B" roundels are subtler than a badge that says "BRABUS".

Yeah, exactly! White EVO MR with Custom Carbon Fiber hood.

I was just curious about the AMG badges, but I understand not wanting to not look like other any other C Class with the Brabus Front bumper.

Looks sweet, definitely. How'd you do? Did you place?

I asked my cousin (Brandon) if he placed and he started laughing cuz he said that there were a ton of cars "trailered" in. I would've never thought that there would be such a big turnout in Sacramento. Obviously, by my profile, I live in L.A., but he said it was a lot more packed than he expected.

Well, glad you're on here. Your ride is very clean! He took a few pics of your car (for my sake)...LOL. Anymore C Class owners up there that you know of? Why were you the only one to show?

Aight, take it easy, glad I found you. Good luck with the C. Wish I had a 32 or 55, but all I could afford was the 230k ss. Who knows, maybe I'll do an engine swap sometime down the line.

hi,

thanks for compliments. i was the only C-Class at the Import Motion show. i did not place or win anything...neither did my friends' crazy m3's. there was no category for us to compete in, except we were bunched with "euro", which a boxster won. so just one award for us to win, no best benz or best bmw categories. my friend won best bmw last year and is so much crazier this year, but i guess they dropped best benz and best bmw altogether.

btw you got any good pics of my car? haha, i didn't get many good ones.

Here are the only other 2 pics that my cuz took of your car:





He took some others of your Homeboy's M3 also, but I didn't get those pics from him.

BTW, where'd you pic up your HRE's from? Online or a shop in NorCal? If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get them for? Very nice lookin' rims! I'm looking into potentially getting some 546R's later down the line. Just when I can actually afford to drop the cash on them...LOL.

thanks. the car is going in this friday to get the front lowered much more; it looks kinda high in the pics haha


do you mind blocking out the license plate on the second pic if possible? just cause i'm paranoid anyway, i got them from a local shop in Bay Area norcal called Carlab. they currently have a set of HRE 546R for w203 fitment also, used and with tires, if you want them.

No prob, no prob. I'll get to that right now.

Do you know how much those 546R's are goin' for? Please let me know, cuz if they are in my price range of what I can afford, I just might pick them up. PM me the info. Thanks.
