Unhappy Brabus On road bumper
Anyone know where I can get a brabus "On road" replica bumper... I was in an accident today in a sitiuation similar to the ML thread "ML with out snow tires" video. Went right into a pile of boulders covered in snow... took out half of my bumper skin and pressed in my bumper. Also for some reason it knocked the door skin off the drivers interior... didnt realize this till after it was too late and the door panel creased and broke when I opened the door...

So If anyone can help on the brabus bumper that would be helpful also if anyone knows where I could get some Euro projector HID headlamps to replace my 2000 HID headlamps...

replicas are tough to come by. plus why would you want to? fitment is bad, nad they are usually fiberglass.

Well let me pose this question to you all... AMG bumper(which is what I have) or a replica Brabus bumper? Unless I can find a used Brabus on road bumper... Im not gonna spend the $1900 they want for it because in addition to it I need to buy the Mercedes upper bumper trim.

I just ordered my Avic N1 so although this would be a prime time to put that bumper on the money isnt there...

Stick with AMG or Brabus (or another aftermarket authentic tuner).

If you find something you want, you can shoot me an e-mail. I'll try to get you a list of all the front bumpers I can get for the W163. Just shoot me an e-mail of your preferences and stuff.

I am aware of it... I also know that I got a nasty discount on the N1... Just about 50% off... and when you throw in all the little extras and stuff it adds up pretty quick...

My buddy wouldn't pick up the phone, I left a message for him.

I promise you I'll get you the prices, and they'll be damned good prices too. I don't leave friends hanging.

Carlsson



Sorry if they appear awkward, the Carlsson site isn't laid out that nicely

Loinser


OR the F01 Edition bumper


Brabus


That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
There may be more that I can get.
I'll ask my guys to see what they offer.

I like the Brabus one because it looks like a subtle racing lip, I'm trying to find better pictures of the Carlsson one.

It varies from company to company, but it's usually in the 25-50% range. If it's a clearence, I might even by able to get up to 70%.

I try my hardest to get the best price I can, it's what I do

I wish I could give you a solid pricing right now. I feel really bad.

All real stuff, if you want it as well, just give me the heads up

I'm not big on replicas. My attitude is, if ya got the Benz, why settle for the 2nd rate stuff?
