Should I change????????
I fell in love the moment I saw it. Probably not too many mods needed, except wheels. Full brabus kit and I like the color too.......Shud I give up Whitey for two less doors???????

Well it's up to you brotha. If you don't have a wife or kids coming any time soon, go for it! I think it looks tight but one thing I gotta say is that your wheels are sick. Imagine them on this coupe, it would be outta control, lol...Good luck with your decision mang and keep us posted...

You sound like a married man already, lol. I would transfer my wheels over, no mods needed either. Might just visit the dealer to see what the story is.....

Dunno actually - except the wheels are 18", it was on a site...I might just go this weekend to check it out.........it is nice but I might just put back a chrome grill if I do get it.

I'm no closer to a decision......it looks more like a heads up to proceed with everyone complimenting the CLK (LOL) but what I really need are honest opinions - pros and cons on whether I should give up my baby for it.......pleeeeze 
In this moment of weakness, I really need someone to keep me sane and on track.....

Dude, thanks for that but a few issues with your analysis:
Pros:
Brabus exhaust -> IMO my Sebrings are nicer (wonder if it'll fit???)
Brabus peddles -> they're fake AC Schnitzer replicas with Brabus badging (!!!!!), LOL
Brabus rims -> mine are lighter, nicer and cost more and they're irrelevant if I swap mine
Xenons -> really? not sure
Advantgarde package -> so is mine
Painted grill -> don't like it on blue
+probable improvement on mileage
Con: +two less doors, one less seat and a lot less leg room in the back
Besides, on this basis, there's more pro's than con
OK, we may need to see it in person and see what my instincts tell me........

Are you sure there aren't 2 types of bumpers offered, one with cut-outs and the other without??? That's how my Carlsson rear comes and just maybe they're on the same track...

The only airbag I've seen here are for the interior
Let me try to find the pic again to see what its all about....I think it belongs to a mod shop so maybe there's more details.
