--New Project( Dark Side)--

after getting the bad news on my e39 which waiting on the final decision from the insurance company i'm already started the search for a replacement nd it looks like i'm going back to Mercedes... it's up in the air but w209 clk500 or if i can find a 55 in my budget then so be it....it'll be moded of course...

now i have a few idea's but here's what i'm thinking....

custom brabus rocket front bumper with a molded Strassentech front lip...rear will be stock amg sport bumper with a cf diffuser but the front i wanted to do something different....my photoshop wasn't all that but gives you a idea...

whatca think?



note: If anyone wants this front bump in the future let me know cause it might hit production for the w209's

Is that a CLS Rocket Front Bumper? To my knowledge (or lack thereof), Brabus didn't make a Rocket bumper, but a K8.

i can't leak out the info yet but once i get the ride i'll know more...

no it's all good.....flare as in the widebody can be made out of different material and the cheapest is fiber glass and metal is up there but solid just like how it would come out of the factory....

his screen name's brabusclk something on here, search for a widebody clk on here and you'll see his old pics...he sold the car last year or so..it was a clean car but i would have gone wider if i had it
