Brabus Grill Installed

Not Really!!! Just a Brabus Style Grill from ebay. I got it for $240++ and after I ordered it went up to $289++ ...The finished/quality is really good. Fitment is ok except the bottom part, the coin slot holes from the grill wont reach the ear tabs from the bumper ( Its reaching but you have to bend the bottom part and I'm kinda scared coz it might break) so in other words theres a gap between the bottom grill and bumper. I did a little modification by putting a weather strip on the bumper so there wont be too much of a gap. I know I can do better if I go to a body shop but Im just lazy.

Im not very **** about the bottom part issue coz this is way way better than my OEM grill (cost $450) coz it's pcuked up, I hit something on the freeway or lets put it this way "this thing hit my grill on the freeway".

Will post a better pix (these pix taken from my Blackberry) after these 3 storm weather in Los Angeles. BTW I painted it with a semi flat spray paint and no clear coat so it's easier for me to retouch it if I get rock chip.

Overall Im a Happy Camper.

NICE! That's a great angle. Looks very menacing. I wanted this grille ever since I saw this on the Brabus Bullit, but recently I've been flip flopping. But after seeing it on your car I'm liking this grille all over again haha.

I love it on your car. Very menacing. Any chance you can throw up some front 3/4 views?

Very nice. Works well with the black color.
Are the fog bulbs OEM? They look whiter and similar color as the xenon.
If not OEM, where did you buy them and was it a pain to switch them?

I'm find it,look that.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...#ht_3428wt_939

valid for:
Mercedes-Benz C-Class 08-10 W204 Sedan.
C180, C200, C230, C250, C280,
C300, C320, C350, and C63 AMG.
Brabus style front bumper upper sport grille.

Information
This is an aftermarket part.
It is made of high quality fiberglass.
Strong and lightweight.
Finished with smooth surface in black.
Painting is required.
It has no pre-drilled mounting holes.
Modifications may be required
to customize the fitment.
Professional installation is recommended.

Note: To install this grille on the C63,
the chrome molding of the top of the OEM grille
has to be removed from the hood.
When this grille is installed on the C63,
it fits like the sport grille on the C-Class
without the Mercedes-Benz emblem.
There is a small gap between
the bottom of the grille and the front bumper.
It does not sit flush like the OEM grille on the C63.
This is how it is designed to look like.
