Brabus Rear Window handle

i tried to "search" this one...but, no luck...

does anyone out there know a US/Canada source for this sort of rear-window handle?



does anyone out there know if this Brabus handle will work on a 451?

thanks!

wow! that was a quick response!

did you find yours at www.smart-parts-direct.com ?

their price of 26 GBP ( > US$ 52).. seemed a bit steep...was there also a VAT charge as well as shipping?

Yes, and the price is steep but I like the way it looks on the car. I think a paid a bit less (not much) but that was back in April. I can't remember about other charges but you can email them,they respond quickly.

thanks for the info...
you know, you are right on...it seems to be the best-designed handle I've seen so far...
I'm glad to read that you're happy with it, and with the service from the UK.

I personally haven't bought anything from them yet however my friend has and had a good experience with them. I've emailed them a couple times and Eddy (the owner I believe) was very helpful.

I also think other members on SCOA have purchased from them.
