Where did you see this? I am potentially interested in the Off Road Apearance Package (assume that includes the "skid plates"), if I don't get the Brabus one.

In the September onwards workshop instructions the items are listed. I cant verify if that means the kit is on sale at this moment.

Do the Euro ordering codes work in the USA .... I suspect they may not.

They do work, but it depends on having a parts counter person who can use it, not many have experience with Euro parts. Some numbers may require using a different ordering system.
