To ensure proper fitment and easy install I will install each one on to my spare bumper before they are shipped/picked up by you.
These will NOT fit Updated Bumpers. Sorry to those i already sold to with Updated bumpers.

I can resist everything except temptation
Well all of the replicas that i've bought or seen are a mold of the entire bumper, and it would either require alot of cutting and fixing to fit it right or you'd have to put on the mounting brakets from your OE bumper on to the replica. If i replicate my Brabus, you'll only have to remove the factory bumper cover and put on the fake Brabus cover and you'll be done, just how it should be.Originally posted by MrSpace

I just finished working on my cosuin replica AMG and i had alot of cutting and fitting to get it right since it was a mold of the entire bumper. I am sure others on the board that have bought the Replica AMG kit know what i am talking about.
I've seen the work that my friend's place does and it's flawless. If i get enough interest, i'd first have to sand and block my Brabus bumper and seal it with primer so that it will be perfect. Then i get a mold made of the bumper which is a pretty penny. After the mold is done, i'll start pumping out copies of the front end. Then all you'd need to do is prime and paint. I will make sure they all fit before sending them out.

My replica amg bumper was only the lower 3/4 half. Guess mines was more of a replica replica than yours

It will be fiberglass and the same thickness of the Brabus, and it will be gelcoated. The only downfall it might crack you get into a fender bender. My friend ensured me that it will be an EXACT copy of the Original one. I haven't made them yet and wont until i get enough people who are confirmed b/c the mold is so much money.Originally posted by Kswiss

can u explain what exactly is a fender bender?
fender bender refers to an accident.Originally posted by KenzBenz

a fender bender is a small accident when you either run into someone from the back or someone runs into you in the back.....i've had a couple fender benders on the freeway, but my bumper only has small scratches.....i think with fiber glass, the kit will just break and will have to be repaired since the fiber glass will be showing...
well if the quality and fit (on a 99 c280) is there, id be interested...

The Brabus Front wasn't made to fit on the Updated Body style, so you'd have to un upgrade and get an older bumper.Originally posted by 1SIKBNZ

its not a full bumper? why is the de-update req.?
Nope. none of the W202 body kits are full bumpers, unless you get the replicas like i did. You have to remove the bumper cover and replace it with the Brabus one and since the updated bodystyle bumpers are different they wont fit. Hence the UN updating the bumpers.Originally posted by ryhi

When i get 10 confirmed buyer that deposit $100, i will start on it. The reason i am requiring a deposit, the Mold is really expensize and i dont want confirmed buyers to back out and get stuck with the bill. So Hopefully there is enough SERIOUS buyers before i install it on my car, and the idea will be scraped.

714guy.You're the best!So it will fit C280 V6 right?But can you get the full Brabus body kits,not just front bumper?Floglights included.It's a little queer just install the bumper only.Originally posted by 714guy

What's the cost?
Unfortunately, i only have the BRABUS front, I dont know if you've seen the rest of the kit, it Looks like stock. The only other thing that I would recommend is the C36 amg sides, and rear. Thats what I am goin to do. I can get you the Fogs, they are $60. The bumper is $250.Originally posted by Simon Lin

But there seems to be a problem, if you have the V6 C280, then that would be the updated model, in which the Brabus front wont fit unless you get an older bumper (<97') and put it on. The only kit that will fit the updated model is the C43 and the lorinser.

i might be down for this also if the rieger group buy im doing doesnt pull through...

i still dont quite understand...can u explain more?Originally posted by 714guy

check out your bumper everything below the gray molding part is the bumper cover. That piece can be removed and replaced with a the AMG, BRABUS, etc.Originally posted by ryhi

I'd be down, but my concern again is fitment. Since I have a 99, I would need to get an older bumper? Can you explain more about this? Also, if you posted pictures of the bumper and where it would attach, and also what piece would have to be changed to fit a 99 I think it would help move some people along.
