Brabus Clk 6.1

I just returned from the Paris Auto Show where I saw the Brabus "tuned" CLK 6.1. This engine mod yields 426 HP. The car looked good, but not realy better than the "500" looks.
The dual exhaust was a nice touch, and is available as an after market mod from Brabus (www.brabus-usa.com).
Mercedes also showed the new E55 (Awesome) with its four pipe exhaust system.
These are exciting times.

do you think the brabus BLACK CLK with the dual Foglights
look better than the CLk with the AMG bodykit(standard in 500)

im confused which one should i choose....
a black CLK 320 with brabus bodykit and double foglights
OR
a silver CLk 320 with AMG bodykit that looks like the 500


which one is better?

AMG vs BRABUS

I prefer the look of the AMG kit, but you can't go wrong with either. The dual fog/driving lights on the Brabus is a nice touch, though I don't know how it would be wired to the light switch.
I wonder which has less drag????
(I am a little biased....I have a CLK 500 and I like the look and the performance. The CLK 55 will look the same except for twin exhaust pipes.)

I did the same survey to members here in Taiwan.
I also included Carlsson style, three for vote.
(1) AMG style is the most popular votes...... Gentle look
(2) Brabus style only few votes behind, the very aggressive
& unique ( 4 foglights) appearance
(3) No many appreciate the Carlsson style.

For your reference

As for me, 500 hp, I pickup the Brabus style to match with.

Yes ! The Brabus CLK6.1 is the monster of NA family, outperform
the CLK55AMG........ and current ///M-power of course.
W211/E55AMG, leave it for WWIII against RS6,E60/M5, XJR.....

I dont think the CLK55 even has the double exhausts-
