Just for the record, if a lip is all you want, you got the choice of:
Wald (two types),
Lorinser (according to Paki, that pic is a Lorinser),
Carlsson
Brabus
I also saw in a Jap magazine that you can even update the grille below the front bumper/on the front spoiler to look like the MY00+ version (I think the Wald front spoiler does that).

Only on hard copy unfortunately but it is just an insert that looks like the MY00+ vent and fits into hole where the MY00- grille goes, costs 23,800yen, about USD200 (also one for the W140).
Update: Finally got my hubcaps with the big "D" today - the complete wheel looks so much like the Carlsson 1/16 now.....errr, so will they be considered "replicas"?
(but with one less spoke????).

That's why when people buy Movens, there's nothing wrong with that just sport the Moven cap or the OEM Mercedes cap, not the "B" one for Brabus. My .02 cents...

Well, actually they even make these caps a different size so you can't use MB or any other cap, that's why I had to wait for them instead of using MB or AMG etc ones.....

Found a Pic: Bumper Duct Update
This is the Wald "bumper duct" - fits into the regular bumper without the need to purchase the front spoiler pictured (this one's for 36,000 Yen = approx USD300) - left pic, the one on the right is Wald's full bumper conversion:

Thanks Dave, that look sweet and a great alternative to those that don't want to change their entire bumper. I'm going to keep this in mind for a friend of mine. I'll hit you up for more info. if I need it.

R you sure? Did it have a "D' or "Carlsson" hubcap? Dronells are specifically for Benz's so won't have a bolt pattern for bimmers. I'm sure u didn't count the number of spokes but the Calrssons have one more than me, otherwise they look exactly the same. As far as I know, these Dronells are not in the US, at least EuroRev haven't imported them , yet.
I think mine were approx. US$650 each but with the trade in of my old ones, plus a swap on tires etc. the final bill was kind of arbitrary.
