Any Pics of the Brabus CF Spoiler lip?
Hi all, I am considering the lip and wanted some feedback. Downsides, etc. Is it too low, whatever. Also, if anyone has any close up pics that show how well it fits??
I am buying a used one for $1K. I have not seen it, but it is supposed to be MINT. I think they retail for about $3K, is that so?

Not very high res, but gives you a good idea of the shape of the lip:

I know alot of people like that Brabus front spoiler.. I guess I am just in the minority but... I really think it ruins the nice lines of the factory spoiler. It basically removes all the lines the factory spoiler has and just makes the front end a smooth rounded lip...
I actually prefer the Carlsson spoiler (if anything) since it adds to the lines the car already has..
I don't know... I guess it just doesnt appeal to me???

Exactly! That's why I have NO spoiler.. I said I would pick the Carlsson if anything (in other words if I HAD to). ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
put up 2 pics side by side.. 1 of stock front end and 1 of the Brabus one.. See if you think it looks better... Here look:

i'm not a fan of the brabus either. i like the style of this one much better but i question the quality of the item.

Have you thought about waiting for Neal's cf lip for the W211. It shouldn't cover the lines of the amg bumper and it should be a nice subtle upgrade...Just my 2 cents...

The only part that concerns me is the ends. It almost looks like it is too big, so that it does not go perfect with the car lines. I do not now if that is from install, or if some are not original BRABUS parts. The one I saw in "real life" was lined up perfectly.
Ahhhh, yes....the mysterious White E55 at the riverside meet is where all this began!! How can someone trick a MB out so much AND not be a member of MBWorld??
