Brabus parts

I've inquired about some through their local dealer, but it seems not much is available in the US, yet. First parts should be available about now or soon, though. Here is a message from 6 weeks ago:

"As you see, wheels are good in stock, body kits coming soon...let me know what you would like to do.

thanks, Andy

Wheels are good to go now. I have 20” Mono IV, and 22” Mono VI in stock. I have three Off-Road kits leaving in about a week, so say six weeks worse-case.

Let us know what you find out about availability. Right now, I'm interested in the Off Road sst skidplates (front & rear) and the lighting kit that fits the stock bumper.

I spoke with my buddy at Brabus, their Brabus W164 is still in the workshop getting the finishing touches done and should be in the showroom by end of the week. Their shipment crate is expected to arrive by the end of the week and will include various W164 Brabus parts. I have their current price list:

164-200-00 Brabus Off Road styling front $645
164-210-00 Brabus front bar styling (in preparation)
164-400-00 Brabus Off Road styling rear $645

164-252-00 Foglight and Highbeam moulding incl. a set of foglights and highbeams $795

Thanks for the information.

I like the looks of the dual lights in the bumper, but that means there will be 6 lights on in high beam mode--I think that may violate many state vehicle codes, if not federal.

Regarding the "Off Road Styling covers" (skid plates), could you inquire of your friend if they're fairly easy to install and if they come with all hardware and istructions for doing so?

I agree, I like their dual foglight/highbeam setup too!

I'm having second thoughts with my AMG spt, I'm thinking of an exchange.

I hope to stop by Brabus NA on Friday, but will confirm with my buddy if the W164 is ready for viewing.

James - Sure thing, I'll take some snap shots.

Picked up my 22" Brabus mono 6s, but their W164 ML showroom vehicle is still in the workshop and completion is expected mid next week. Going back for the Brabus springs....Greg, I will get more info on the skidplates.
