Re: Brabus & Lorinser Kit Costs
These prices are all from Eurorev.com I don't vouch for them in any way.
W211 Brabus kit
Front Bumper (Product #63171360): $1645.00
Illuminated Side Sills (#09115902): $1595.00
Rear Bumper(#18520547): $1375.00
Total: $4,615
It appears that the front bumper includes both the fog lights and aux headlights (why there're two lights in the bumper). The rear bumper also fits both the Brabus exhaust and the stocker.
The Brabus Exhaust (#65254058) is another $1980.00
C-Class (W203) Brabus kit (someone asked for it):
Front Bumper (#92960657): $1375.00
Rear Bumper (for Brabus Exhaust #50299631; for OE Exhaust #30753193): $1175
They don't have the side sills (if there are any) listed on their site. If there aren't any sills, the total is $2,550
W211 Lorinser kit (not sure which version this is)
Front Bumper (#50720031): $2261.00
Rear Bumper (#66233070): $2086.00
Side Sills (#06925214): $ 1400.00
Total: $5,747
Painting and installation obviously bump those prices up. Also, I believe CEC Wheels is Lorinser's exclusive importer, so they could be a bit cheaper than Eurorev, for those of you who like the Lorinser look. Buying direct from Brabus could theoretically be cheaper than through a reseller, but considering the reputation the sales people at their Newport Beach showroom have for rudeness, I highly doubt it. Still, if you're interested in any of these kits, do a web search for resellers of the specific company whose product you're interested in and call and get quotes from them.
As for the wheels pictured with the Brabus kit, just do a search for Brabus Monoblock VI wheels, and you'll find a bunch of sites that sell them. They come in both one-piece and multi-piece versons. (I prefer the former; I like the cleaner look of one-piece wheels.)

No one's joined in yet, but if 5 people do, you can get it for $4150
Brabus Group Buy
I just found this on a google search, so I can't vouch for these guys, either.

Where can I get Kleeman exhaust? How much? One of the best I've seen so far. Brabus doesn't look right- sticks out too far and tips look stupid without brabus body kit. I wish the brabus rear bumper didnt have those vent holes..

2004 E500
Just got a phone call from the wife... she accidentally scraped the front bumper on the garage wall this morning on our 3 week old E500... aargh! Haven't seen the damage yet, she says it's minor and there are no dents or anything... just some paint from the garage wall was "transferred" to the bumper 
Anyway, reading this thread... all of a sudden a Brabus/Carlsson kit looks tempting. Does anyone have pics of what the kit looks like before it is installed? I’m wondering how much of the front bumper is stock and how much is the kit… to see if my possibly-damaged bumper would get replaced. I've wanted to do this, just didn't plan on doing it so soon
Well, at least the wife can't complain...

interpol, that sucks. except for Wald, I beleive all kits are full bumper cover replacements. (even tho they look like chin/lip replacement).
I did same thing with my audi- small crash, put on a body kit..

carlsson, kleemann, autocouture are half bumpers which require cutting your original one and glueing he new one on. I'd rather go with a brabus one or an AMG one if i damaged mine.

I don’t think the blue E500 installed the rear Brabus bumper I think he left it stock I hate when the Exhaust tips are not cut into the bumper anyway I juts found a rear picture of the Brabus bumper which I love but I’m not too sure about the six Exhaust tips. In the end my vote goes to Brabus

From my understanding its better not to mix kits since each kit is designed not only for looks but improving down force BTW I could be wrong or maybe this only applies to Porsches

Hi theitalianjob,
On the Silver E class picture, the rims looks very sweet. What brand are they and where i can find more information about these rims? What size are they and costs?
Thanks.
