Just repairing and restoring back to original Brabus state I need to find the original fogs for it to be complete though

Do you have 18 inch Monoblock V?
Front 8.5 ET35?
Did you have to use 3 mm spacers for front wheels to clear C32 calipers and you're using OEM crossdrilled rotors?
Looks like Brabus spokes are very close touching caliper housing?

I have the same Brabus rims but they come with Split multi piece rims

Your car is it a C36 or C280?
So far, how do you like your braking with c32 setup?
Do you feel any better braking with C32 setup or did you get better braking performance with stock factory brakes?
Piston orientation is on the wrong place with C32 calipers, do you get any strange braking from this or uneven rotor/pad wear?

I have this brand new set awaiting at home waiting to be installed on my C43.
Don't know if I will do this mod on my car or sell this AMG brake kit?

Check out my rims

I can tell the front of this car is going to look absolutely FLAWLESS after the paint. The rest already looks to be in great shape!

18 inch brabus mono block v's front and back H&R sp a cers bilstien shoc ks l orinser springs the break system is better than my other 280 that I had before the black car is a 280 and the silver one is my other good old c36, the only thing that bugs me is seeing the abs light on because it doesn't have the right sensors for the breaking system

i dont rmember how thick they are but is just enough so that they wont hit the calipers
Hey! Does any one know why there is a HOLE in the trunk i told the guy to cover it up and he said there is supposed to be somekind of sensor there but ive never seen anything like this before

I think that is the IR for the remote truck opener (the clicker, the bee-booper, keyless remote) just my two cents could be wrong.....

is that why my remote doesnt work at all even after trying to reset it with new batteries? should i tell the body work man not to cover it up?

I would not cover it up, I would try and get it fixed....but thats just me....it may be too costly. As for why the alarm does not work, that could be, but I'm not sure, contact MB service and ask them, asking is free, only if they have to work on it does it cost you $$$$. Look at this link as to why your alarm may have issues...

i think its the balancer, or it could be that the radio is not connected i know that has something to do with the alarm

i wrote that before i looked at the link^ i think i figured out the problem the green and red les on the driver side door handle like the one in the picture is broken on mine, the c36 has it on the rear view mirror.
