Brabus mods look good...I agree though I would go with the Brabus sport springs, I have them, they lower about 1" and no significant ride change..Good Luck

Congratulations!, She is a beaut and just needs a tab bit of lowering for it to be perfect.

For now enjoy it in the best of health and drive safely.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
Just reedit the images moment ago & added couple of photos also.
Sorry for making the page skewed.

Yes..I'm thinking of lowering it in the future, but not now.
Today is my third day with my new ride.
Road condition in Malaysia isn't that well. Will need time to get used to it before lowering it.

I noticed that too.
We (me & my Brabus sales advisor) were clueless on how to put that thing on. Being too scared to break it, we handed it over to a mechanic to handle it.
Obviously he doesn't know the direction.
But anyway, nevermind...

Too be honest, I was freaked out on the first & the second day driving my new ride.
Lotsa people were looking at my ride & that doesn't happen at all previously while I was driving with my Toyota vios.

Besides, the Brabus company in Malaysia even held an event in conjunction with a property company to hand over the key to me in front of journalists & couple invited people.
They claimed it their first Brabus sale in 2008 though my car was ordered last year.
Of course the photos of me & my car has been publicized on some newspaper.
There was lotsa social pressure to handle.

Also yesterday while in a shopping mall, there was a nice gentlemen who parked his car next to me even stepped out & helped me reversing the car ( the parking space was too narrow) while I was about to drive my ride out of the parking lot.
At the same time, his girlfriend was standing in front of the car, staring at me.


Anyway, I'm glad that I finally got my new ride.

Out of curiosity, how can you tell the aero wing is upside down?

??? Are you talking about the thingees on top of the hood or the thingees by the 3 pointed star?

If on the top of the hood, then reversed, not upside down.

I'm confused

Yeah they just need rotating 180. i guess if you looking down at the bonnet(hood) they are upside down.

any airfoil will be fat then fin in the direction of flow. and of obviously car performance will be dramatically effected. delightful car.

Nice car except the rear diffusor I find ugly (sorry) compared to the Piecha one.

Upside down areo wings or rather back to front, I was talking to a young lady owner of a silver slk in a car cark outside Glasgow the other day, and her aero wings had been installed by an MB dealer the wrong way round too. Got to wonder what we pay them for.
