Here is a picture as requested. All you have to do is unlock the vehicle and unscrew the OEM ones, then install these. Pretty straightforward install. These are W204 specific. No problem Sincity.

That's only true for the fronts, not the rears. Rears are ball-socket design while fronts are screw on. Fronts are trivial to install, but rear 204 Brabus pins work as caps. You can cap it over the existing rear pins, but sticks out and doesn't cap all the way down. To remedy this, you have to pull off the rear cap (basically break it), then use some sort of pressure tube or rubber cement to fill out the rear cap and hold to the exposed inner pin. MB made a retarded design for 204 rears.

The Brabus 204 pins should have one pair longer with screw threads inside, and one pair shorter and wider which are caps. If the ones you carry are all 4 the same size and screw, then you're carrying the 203 pins. Brabus misprinted their part number 203-819-00 for their 204 price sheet. It really should be 204-819-00.

For the rears, instead of pulling the stock pin off, can't you simply trim a little bit of the top off (with a dremel tool) and then slide the new cap on?

According to the price sheet from Brabus that Azn_300 supplied, it lists the pins at $125 a set. So the GB savings is in shipping? Or is the price sheet that Azn_300 supplied is outdated? I hope this is a mistake like what was posted in the GB for the KLEEMANN K1 tune that OP posted.

You can do this. This required the most work and if you screw up the measurements and cap fits too loosely, you'll have to fall back to popping it off. It is worth a shot though for the more entrepreneur. Basically cut off the top nub section, then dremel the sides as the diameter of the bottom section is the same as the rear cap pin, so you'll have to shave a very small amount. To get it good this way however, I'd highly recommend opening the door panel to hold on to the pin on the bottom as you apply pressure down as to not damage the locking assembly.
