Drives Slowly
Please post a few more pics. I'd like to see the rear wing and a close-up of the wheels.

I think this sums it up:
Kleemann K2 = proletariat
Brabus K8 = bourgeoisie

The rear spoiler is not a brabus piece. Got it a while ago from an ebay site.

That spoiler is what the AMG factory spoiler looks like.. You can order them from MB. I think Jangy has one on his car also..

I was looking at putting one on.

I'm very impressed that you were able to get Brabus to fix your car so easily and without hassle. Especially at 18K. I'm sure they fixed it themselves though for much less. Maybe thats why you pay the premium, they act like a proffesional buisness. I can think of a few companies that (have)would have quickly looked the other way...no names neccesary

Looks awesome!!!

Thanks as I was really tortured with whether to powder coat these wheels black or leave them silver. My fear was that there was going to be too much black but the red calipers seem to set things off just enough.

Besides my two teenage boys said, "you got to rock the black rims Dad" so I suspected it would probably come out nice.

As stated previously, Brabus stood up big time on this and even though it cost them less than MB, it still cost them plenty. The upside for them is that they have a customer for life!

I ended up buying 4 of the 3 piece fins. The stock MB part for the E class is the best quality, in my opinion. It does not come painted, but very worth the difference to me.
