As for you adding side skirts it will be interesting to see...

....Its also important that you look at the lines if your just going with skirts...

If you have a look at CLKMAN car he has said he has a full Brabus kit, but it doesent look that different to stock.....


Looking foward to seeign this mystery project ! Good Luck

Hi mate,

Yeah, availability in the UK for parts is a nightmare, eh?! I spent about an hour on the net the other day and couldn't find anything! Just the the Rieger kit which isn't all that great.

As for your grill that you're after - I think I saw a couple of those on Ebay... not that expensive either if I remember (hmmm....I feel abit of a bidding war coming!!!! LOL haha!!!).

As for the side skirts, I know what you mean about the lines. I certainly won't be making any "Rash" decisions. I also appreciate that getting the kit to fit correctly is of paramount importance, I recall some guys here on the forum mentioning that it's common to have to carry out some "custom" work to get a good fit.

I also noticed the same thing about CLKMAN's body kit! I asked him about it too not that long ago - saying how much it was similar to our front end. I agree that a lip added to ours would do the job!

I also never noticed the "notch" missing from his kit!!


"Mystery project".... heehee!!

I will be starting at about 10am tomorrow and I should be able to get it done by 6pm.

I will take pictures get back to you!
