Pics of my Brabus E500

Let me know what you guys think. I still need to get an exhaust or tips. Any suggestions? Also thinking of getting a rear lip spoiler. My stock front and rear bumpers are for sale.

Isn't your post misleading? Shouldn't your post say E500 with Brabus bumpers? I think you need more Brabus stuff (i.e., wheels, lowering module, exhaust, etc.) before you can officially name your car a Brabus E500.

It's like what I found on a company's website... a W211 with the following:

1) a Brabus lowering module,
2) HRE wheels,
3) Brabus front lip spoiler and
4) a trunk spoiler...

that's all there is, and it was called a project vehicle. Then shortly it was immediately sold to a used car dealer and ended up in eBay.

My friend's E500 has more stuff than these two cars, and its owner does NOT have the guts to name his car a tuner E500.

Just my 2 cents.

Wow aries, you seem to have some issues if you took offense to the fact that I called my car a Brabus E500. The only interior difference is Brabus shifter, door pins, and illumination.

I drive an E500 with AMG appearance package. My wife drives an E320.
That's a great looking ride! Where did you get the Brabus spoiler?

Looks good so far.

Nothing wrong with the E500 Brabus badging in my book.
