Question Transforming C63 into BRABUS B63 (Good Suppliers needed)

Hey guys!

My C63 is almost three years old and I've been wanting to do this for some time. I'm not that impressed with the new facelift and interior (let us not derail the thread plz!), hence i've decided to upgrade to a BRABUS B63 with an interior upgrade as well.

The items i want to upgrade are listed below.

- Illuminated shift knob (alcantra/Psuedo) 171-817-00
- Illuminated door sills 204-350-00
- Bonnet emblem 204-000-20
- BRABUS tailgate logo 211-000-14
- Illuminated tailgate emblem 212-000-21-B
- BRABUS Valve Caps VG-02-AL
- Brabus door lock pins 204-819-00
- Aluminum pedal set 204-816-10
- Black BRABUS Floor Mats
- BRABUS Monoblock S (19 or 20 in??)
- BRABUS performance kit B63 204-773-0E

I'm planning a full interior upgrade (a la BRABUS BULLIT ) as well.

If you guys can direct me to good suppliers i'd be very grateful.

If this plan falls through, i'll be posting the pics once the car is geared up!

Thanks for the hints! I looked into both of your suggestions, however i'd say i've become a little addicted to the BRABUS brand..

I decided with the Brabus kit because i have already installed the Brabus Side Skirts and thought of eventually completing the upgrade.

I want to keep it consistent. Hence the A Semi-Full BRABUS interior, exterior and performance is what i'm looking for.

Cause I can see your car's in Dubai... I spend a lot of time in Dubai and every1 there has Brabus's etc. Check out the other stuff and maybe, if you want, get something different so your amg will be a bit more special than the rest.

Not to rain on your parade, but I read somewhere that if you wanted to get the brabus bullit interior... It's gonna cost you around 60,000 USD :o... If you already knew this disregard the message lol

I appreciate the options you laid out guys, however i decided to go with BRABUS because i feel it's more discreet and maintains luxury rather than plain sportiness of the other body kits. Other tunes also have very little interior upgrades available.

I'm not doing the interior upgrade with BRABUS (Except for the items i want to order at the start of the thread). I'm mimicking the interior upgrade (Bullit dash/seats) at a local workshop.

I can live with having one BRABUS pass me by on the road every other day. Much better than a c63 passing by every 30 mins on the road..

I have some of the parts you mentioned (pedals & shift knob that illuminates). Sorry no pics cuz it's not installed yet and won't be for 7 months.
Anyways I do know of a guy in LA, but the thing is the shipping charge might be up the ***. So if you want pm me and I'll give you his info and you can maybe work something out?

My advice on the shift knob - instead of the standard illuminated Brabus one, choose the Brabus Race Shifter

Standard Illuminated Shifter







Brabus Race Shifter

Hmm...this needs voting on.. I like the Race shifter, but i got mesmerized by the lit BRABUS logo on the other one..

I did exagerate on it passing every 30 mins.. :P i do come across one once in a while, other than the dude where i work parking his in front of the office everyday.

Thanks for the offer, i'm finally in the process of securing a deal with BRABUS directly since they have opened a regional office just a month ago. I've recieved a quote that seems quiet tempting, given that i added the 19" multispoke wheels to the order. the price is a bit on the high side as expected, but its much lower than what Brabus.com quotes on their website.

the only thing seperating me from that conversion now is a swipe of the little evil card that eats up credit.

Brabus is now represented on its own in the USA. CEC is no longer the distributor for them. That means that all the dealers for Barabus have not switched to the new supplier yet. We can certainly help you to get your project going since we buy directly from Brabus.

Thanks Peter. I'll let you know if i come short of any of the products and hope you can offer competing prices.


I'm all set for the items listed in the start of the thread. The project begins next week!

Mods i'm considering and in the process of obtaining:

- Brabus/Kicherer CF Grill
- New style side mirrors (my C63 is an 08)
- Matt Black Wrap

If you are looking to wrap you car in Dubai go to Fibra Foil they do really good job

Look how did they wrap the C63 I saw this car in person I could not recognize that the car was white or whatever color even if you close to the car.

WOOOOOW

This video is so freakin awesome! And that white garage is just mind-blowing.
You can see the front of another C63 wrapped in blue vinyl (left top corner).

Chocolate brown with gunmetal wheels and orange calipers = amazing.



Don't be boring and choose matte black - do it London style hahahahahaha
