I will have parts. Need advice on how to get them off.

Talked to the insurance and got a pretty fair value today. I worked it out so that i can take off my brabus exhaust and replace it with the OEM and also take off the lorinser roof spoiler. I dont think getting the exhaust off will be the most difficult challenge. Heck, Ill just leave the factory one in the trunk for the insurance to figure out. Im not sure how to get the roof spoiler off though, but im sure some people on this forum have dealt with this problem. Any suggestions?

BTW, here's the prices I'm thinking (relatively firm, cause i think they're fair):
Brabus Exhaust (will fit 320 or 430): $500 (retail is like $1,300)
Lorinser Roof Spoielr (currently painted white): $350 (retail maybe $575)

Thanks for the interest.
Im located in Orange County, so local buyers get priority.

wheels?

What about your lorinser wheels and/or tires? Were they damaged in the wreck? Factory wheels? Any wheels/tires available?

The tires and wheels are ruined unfortunately. The springs would be too much of a hassle to get off, but i think i could take off the sideskirts of my Brabus kit if interested. I don't have OEM side skirts though. The reason i could take off the exhaust and spoiler is because i have replacements, or in the case of the spoiler there is no OEM part.
If someone is interested in the So. Cal area i will make it worth your while to purchase both and pick them up (Sorry Danny, not for $400). Im thinking i could package them together for $750.
If you are out of the are i am willing to ship, but i'd definitely prefer local pickup.
PM me if interested in the 3 different items. I will give you my phone number so we can work something out.
Thanks.

bump. i have some positive interest in the spoiler, skirts, and exhaust. Just thought i'd throw this out there; if anyone wants an AUTHENTIC brabus emblem i'll dental floss off mine. Honestly, this will sound crazy, but brabus charges 125 for the emblem. So first $25 takes it.
