Brabus mods?

Does anyone know if any of the Brabus parts (front & rear spoiler, side skirts and exhaust system) will fit on the Pure Passion? Is the Brabus model body different from the stock Fortwo? I also would like to put the Brabus wheels and tires on the Pure Passion. I know as soon as I take delivery of mine, they will start selling the Brabus in the US.

The BRABUS side skirts are the same as the regular side skirts, but painted. The exhaust is designed for European 451s and will not fit the US ones.

The TÜV homologation papers for the BRABUS Monoblock VI wheels say you do have to install the BRABUS suspension if you install the wheels.

I actually compared the stock side skirts with a set of brabus side by side and the brabus one actually has a slightly different line ... it's doesn'y stand out and scream "I'm brabus" but the two are definitely not the same.

Brabus parts for the 451

Hallo to all brabuas friends,
sorry for my terrible english, but I am from Germany.
The side skirts are definatly not the same from the pure,pulse or passion modell.
It is right that if you mounted the 16" and17" Wheels you must mounted the sport suspension set. there is included two small laps for the rear panels.
You can have to Lorinser wheels for this car.I think there are to nice.
Best regards from Berlin.
Bernd

In case you are still interested in the BRABUS line we (smartmadness.com) carry their body kit and all their interior and exterior accessories. The items are in stock and available for quick delivery.

The wheels can be special ordered, but the shipping weight will hurt. If you are looking for a really nice set of wheels we have other choices like Lorinser (also in stock).

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone...

Thanks to everyone who posted for the information. I am driving an orphan currently and waiting for mine to arrive 11/08 - 02/09 according to DDE.

To SmartMadness...I will definately be looking at your products between now and when mine arrives...and plan to go crazy with mods when it does.

PS...has anyone heard of a cruise control available for the 451 yet?
