this is what jumps out at me.. and i like to act on my instinct so far it's worked great for both cars

Black out front grille, keep the star in place, but make it black-chrome (gunmetal) make the horizontal chrome stripes in carbon fiber



It's definately different and you retain the three pointed star

next.. i would smoke the reverse lights section in the tails like the SL55s..



i know i know, i suck at photoshop ( i am still learning ) but you get the idea. just my .02

haha... Oh take your time. I spoke to my friend at F1. They actually dont make an emblem for the 209 according to him. And most of the ppl that have there emblems on the 209 are all custom done. Im in no rush, I actually like the star emblem on my car due to the fact that i have a starless grill, but i just wanted to put the B emblem just to make it more agressive. But yeah. I really like your photoshop. I think It looks really nice. You should try that on your car.

As of the smoking of the tail lights, im currently testing it out. Hopefully it would look nice.

Brabus Emblem

Derrick,

The easiest way to attach that emblem is to completely remove the old and drill into the holes from the top so you go through the bottom of the hood. The hood actually has a lip that goes underneath with about a 1-1/2" gap inside. Just use (2) 1-1/2" #10 Screw with #10 Lockwasher and bolt and bingo there it is. If you ever need to tighten it or remove it, it is always possible from underneath the hood. It does look sweet!

Becareful with the drill not to chip the paint, and use the thinest drill bit you can to prevent movement. DO NOT TIGHTEN TOO TIGHT OR YOUR HOOD WILL SHOW CREASES FROM STRESS!!

Make any sense??

Beautiful car man! Now you need to upgrade those fogs to PIAA Spark Blue or White to get the full xenon effect.

Yeah i would so Do that to my brabus bumper, but the only thing is that, Im just basically telling the cops to write me a big fat fix it ticket. I dont know about your other states, but it is so illegal to turn on 4 fogs at once. It already attracts too many attention at night, and with full xenon fogs, wow, it would look so nice, but really expensive when cops write you up

AGREED!!!!

I'm already taking a chance. It would look good though. I never really drive with ALL the lights on..pretty much fogs in evening and xenons at night.

Jay500 your car is sick I love it. The CLK looks the best IMO with the brabus bumper and the brabus monoblock wheels. I been in love with the double fog lights since AMG BRED got em. Speaking of AMG BRED did you ever get some pics of the xenons installed in the fog lights. ?

Ifyou dont get real HID's in the fog's dont bother with blue bulbs the stock halogens will look better with the contract of the HID low beam.

by law, you can have only 2 sets of light running at one time, that's why you will notice that when car's switch on their high beams.. the fog lights turn off, or vice versa, but never on at the same time.

exhaust

jay500...

How does the brabus exhaust sound...
Do you get a deeper sound from the start or just at high rpms?
Is the car very noisy when you are on the hwy at say 60mph...

I am considering a brabus exhaust, but fear that the extra noise will not be pleasant during long trips at 60mph.

Thanks...
