Title: Quick Question about Brabus. Wimmer, help!!
Post by: oilfilter on August 07, 2005, 08:28:46 PM
Do all Brabus models have the signature twin foglamps, or only some?
When did they start using this twin foglamp design?

I ask because, I see a black CLK430 (320?) everyday, with the BRABUS nameplate on the decklid, and side, but no twin foglamps, or any visible modifications to the interior.

I am wondering if is really just a plain vanilla CLK430(320?) or indeed a true Brabus.

Every picture I am seeing has the twin foglamps...someone could have put a Brabus badge on the car.

I think so too.

The only other explanantions would be that sometime in the past Brabus didnt use twin lamps, or the customer has the option of not selecting them.

Hi Chris,

  As far as I know, all Brabus models have twin foglamps: but I could be wrong. The new Brabus A-Class may only have single foglamps (or twin).

I saw a C-240 wagon yesterday driven by a lady in her 40's with the letters CLK-240 on the back. I decided that the dealer screwed up, because I seriously doubt anybody would switch that.

Twin fogs are a trademark of Brabus, but I believe it's an a la carte option.  Maybe?

Strange. that is just the stock fog lamp isnt it?

So, I am still not sure if what I see almost daily is a fake or not. And  I cannot go and ask the owner "Sir, is this thing a fake Brabus" :D

Every morning, in the carpark, I  also see a silver SLK350 with AMG tags on the decklid, instead of the SLK55 tag... :blink:

confusing...

Thanks for the info. I thought so too.

Incidentally, I saw my first M-B A-class here yesterday. :praise:
A blue, funny (but not bad) looking thing.

Btw, its with a 'K', not 'Ch'. ;)
