W211 Brabus Kit Question....
Does anybody know if there is more than one version of the Brabus body kit for the W211? Did they maybe start off making FULL front and rear bumper replacements and then change to add-on lips later down the road? I am confused, as I thought (like FreshBenz) that the authentic brabus front consisted of the add on lip he has and the fog light inserts?? Am I wrong? Is it really a full front bumper replacement? The rear too?? They look like add on lips in ALL the pictures I've seen posted on the boards. Please, if anybody could clarify I would appreciate it. Also, are the puddle lights standard on all authentic brabus sideskirts or an option? Thanks.

There are two different kinds of BRABUS kits. FreshBenz is one with the add on lip(s) and mine as a full kit.
Full Brabus kit is a front bumper replacement, side skirts (1 piece), and rear is a complete rear bumper. From inspection (after having it installed initially I found alot of 'included' brackets that hold the bumper, side skirts and front to the car very firmly. Very professional kit...
The puddle lights are optional and don't come with the kit. Rear lip has BRABUS stamp and serial number etc under the passenger side of the lip side skirts have it towards the rear portion and the front bumper I forgot LOL

Getting this Brabus stuff in-line for order is much tougher than I expected! Props for getting your all together man I can't wait. I may also be switching to brabus monoblock IV i believe? Decisions decisions....

^^^Yup lucky you they offer JUST the front lip. Much cheaper way to have that 'BRABUS' look
I'm also switching up to Monoblock 6's. Everyone has them I know but I'm gonna run a low offset with spacers to push them out on the fenders give them a VIP look kinda. When finished I'll post pictures.
