Brabus or AMG ??

Today i went to the dealer to collect my rear spolier I bought it for 460 USD .And I asked about the Full AMG Bodykit which includes (front bumper,side skirts,rear bumper) they said it will cost me 2100 USD.

And the Brabus body kit which includes(front and rear bumper) costs 2150 USD.

What do you think guys should i instal the brabus or the amg body kit ???

the eternal question.
It all depend on what you want for your car.
Sportier touch -> AMG
Exclusive touch->Brabus
it's hard to define the brabus bodykit, it's not really sportier than the stock but when you see it on a car you say "oh, what a look!".

BRABUS!!! One BIG reason: the dual foglights, they look VERY cool. And also, AMG is too common, the CLK500 has it, the CLK55 has it.

Btw, the Brabus bodykit is retail for $2238.

My opinion would be to go with the Brabus body kit. It just look a lot better and a lot of other people already have the AMG body kit.

yeah..I think so.
Front bumper : Brabus
Rear bumper : Amg or Lorinser
Side skirts : Amg (imho like the original but more "pumped")

Rims....rims are the most subjective parts...
Personally, I don't like lm_5's....
I preferr those:
Brabus Monoblock V, dual-spoke design, multi-piece, silver polished


Or see my mini on-line gallery that I've made up to choose rims... I'm still searchin' for..

Good topic !
Front : Brabus for its impressive 4 fog lights
Side : AMG skirts ,only choice, Lorinser won't match mix kits
Rear : Carlsson bumper that allow you to put quad exhaust
+ mesh spoiler in between (SL55AMG like)
Rims : If you wanna show up your hi-end brake kits, AMG dual spoke is more visible, two pcs stands for larger (afford 380 mm rotor inside) it also imply your car is a tough one.

Definitely a head tuner , men or women, boys or girls ......IMHO

For sure - the quad exhaust looks really nice.

I didn't really care for these when I first saw them, but the Carlsson 1/16s look pretty nice on this SL from the Essen motorshow:

momba :

I saw the carlsson W209 only once,too bad no pic on hand.
You need confirm if the dealer will sell you the seperate
rear bumper first.
AMG or Brabus agent here is ok for any split item order.
I bought the AMG aero package here for $3000 (w/o labor & paint)
Carlsson kits is about $2000, front + rear.......fyr
