Brabus front bumper+

Is their anyway to tell if it si an authentic, I just got a used of a lease and the inside looks a little suspect, is there any identyfying mark or piece that confirms its lauthenticity?


Also do you know where I can get a wiring harness for the foglights so all four will light up?, and possibly does anyone know where I can get the brabus emblem that goes on the front lip?

I think you have a fake one. The real brabus should come with a emblem. Check your material. Most fake brabus is make out of fiberglass. The authentic ones are like PU, which is nice and durable and high quality.

RE: Fake or not

The bumper should have an embossed logo and place of manufacturing underneath the bottom of the front lip. This logo is part of the molding process and will show authenticity. The simple black emblem on the front is only a sticker available right from Brabus for I believe $75.

Brabus light kits also come with wiring harnesses so I don't see why they shouldn't sell those as well. Just splice or connect the two to the proper fogs and both will light up. I just had mine done that way and it looks much better when on. I have heard that this is illegal though.

Hopefully you not getting scammed!

I wish; they apparently 'forgot' to include the install hardware and I'm waiting for it to arrive before starting the process.

Did everyone get the embelem with their kit? I did not get it. I'm really confused now with the kit I got, and I got it straight from Brabus.
