Brabus Illuminated Door Sills

**DansSlk** · 11-05-2007

Hey guys,

I'm having some door sills custom made so i am thinking about selling my Brabus ones.

When Brabus sell them they basically just send you the metal trims so the standard AMG's have been modified to accept the illumination strip, if any of you have seen pictures of B55's car then they are 100% identical to them.

I will also include the inverters and wiring instructions, its a very easy install you do need to snip 2 of the factory wires to follow the Brabus install method but wire taps can also be used without issue you will have instructions for both.

I'm looking for about £200 GBP (at the current exchange rate that about $400 USD) thats considerably less than what i payed for them when i brought them about 1yr ago.

I will also be selling my Brabus shifter again because of a custom made one but it has got a bit of damage to the chrome ring around the logo where my wife caught it with her ring so i will just be looking to flog that cheap.

Dan,

Sorry for the late response.
I'm actually looking for one.
Are you still having the Brabus Illuminated Door Sills?
Do you mind posting photos of it here?
Thanks

**DansSlk** · 12-02-2007

Hey mate,

I still have them for sale mate, i will post pictures asap the weather is too bad to go and do it right at this very minute.

For the moment if you look at B55's car they are identical to that but i will get some pics of the actual plates themselves.

Dan,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I was wondering how much the original pair costed last time you bought from dealer?
Also have there been visible scratches on them?
Is it convenient for you to ship to Germany?
Thanks

**DansSlk** · 12-02-2007

Well i ordered the kickplates and the shifter in one order and it cost me over £1k GBP.

I think the shifter was about 200ish so the rest would be kickplates.

No visible scratches on them mate, Germany is fine.

Hi Dan do you have any pictures ? As I may be intrested in both items.

Thanks

Stu

The weather where i live is piss poor right now the wind is blowing so hard if i opened a door it would get ripped right off.

As soon as the weather calms down i will post pictures of the kickplates and the shifter on this thread so anybody interested can check them out.

Cheers
Dan

Here is one shot of the drivers kick plate.

I know it needs a clean and i need to use my other camera to capture the pics but it's totally scratch free.

slk55stu · 12-12-2007

Hi Dan any pictures of the gear shift yet?

Thanks

Stu

**DansSlk** · 12-12-2007

Oh yeah sorry mate,

Here you go.

The box has no relation to the part by the way.

The wiring tails allow for the connection to the shift gate illumination system to illuminate the B.

Dan, PM Sent

**DansSlk** · 12-13-2007

OK,

dsb would like the shifter and slklover would like the kickplates.

I will look into the shipping costs to you guys and get back to you.

**DansSlk** · 04-23-2008

Guys these are available again if anybody want's them.

**dsb** · 04-23-2008

Is the shifter available again? If so, I'm still interested.

Dont miss these guys, I can vouch for the extreme quality of Brabus parts.

You will be very happy to look at and touch, these parts every day, Never gets old.

And they only go up in price, As soon as MB bring out a new slk, Brabus will stop making parts for the old one, Then the prices go mad !

And really quite rare, Not many peeps will pay the high Brabus prices in the first place.
