The 2007 W216 BRABUS CL is completed. According to CEC, the USA importer for BRABUS, this is the only BRABUS CL kit on the East Coast and will be for about a month or two. We installed the front bumper, side skirts w/ entrance lights, rear bumper w/ entrance lights, lowering module, decklid spoiler, Lorinser roof spoiler, and the 21" BRABUS Monoblock VI Forged wheels. The Lorinser roof spoiler wasnt installed when these pictures were taken because BRABUS wanted pictures and I couldnt have the a different company's product on a picture for a different company's advertisement. Other options include illuminated BRABUS door sills, BRABUS aluminum door pins, BRABUS sport pedals, BRABUS floor mats/trunk mat, etc. I think this car is just sexy but maybe it's just me.
 
This kit as more difficult than others we've done because of the way the "bumpers" were made. The BRABUS bumpers were only add-on pieces and the stock bumpers had to be cut and then the BRABUS bumpers be attached over the stock bumper. However if you do everything correctly the bumper look like they're molded out of a single piece. There is no seal sealer, etc excess coming out from under the edges of any of the panels, etc. Take a look at the kit, the work and let me know what you think about everything. Id really like to hear some feedback about this car. if you do like it then why? if you dont like it then why? what would you do differently? I hope you guys and girls like these picutres. It took a lot of work, a lot of stress, and a lot love to make something that looks this mean.

Hi, Benztuner,
 
Your photos aren't loading for me -- the page is taking a long time to load, so they may be too large. Could you post a link to your CarSpace album so we can see them?

the new W216 CL is pretty much the same as the W215 CL. i have always loved the CL, the idea of a 2 door coupe with more room than a roadster but still small enough to be extremely sporty. the new CL is the epitome of luxury inside, it is for all intensive purposes a 2 door S class. the CL is set up exactly like an S class inside and all has all of the same great stylings. the outside of the car is beautiful too. the car drives exceptionally well, in my opinion, it is smooth and has great acceleration, for a car with only 387 horsepower. again, the CL is just like the S class but only 2 doors. ive driven both cars and i like both, but for different reasons. i like the CL because it is a coupe, i love the new design, it drives like a sedan and handles like a coupe, i havent found anything i dont like yet. the S class is great too; it drives so well in the city and on the highway. i really dont have anything bad to say about either car except i'd like to see more horsepower in the 550 models.
in my opinion you cannot group the S, CL and CLS class together. i do not really like the CLS but ive driven it too and i the CL and S class cars are so much more luxurious and just better all around. if i had to choose between the CL, S, and CLS then i would be choosing between the CL and S. you should figure out what you want the car for and what you're really going to be using the car for. if you're going to be driving with more than 1 passenger very often then you might want to lean towards the S class. the CL has the room in the back but you dont really want to have someone getting in and out all the time, but if it is just you and 1 other person then id go with the CL. again, just think about what you are going to be doing with the car and make your decision. either way the S and CL, you cant go wrong they're both great cars.
i actually put large wheels on the CL i drove, they are 21" but ive seen 22" on a CL, and it didnt make the car drive badly. now you're going to have some changes and you feel a little bit more, but it isnt very noticeable. i also put a BRABUS kit on the CL and it transforms that car into a very good looking car. ive driven almost every mercedes in the last 5 years and the CL and S class are at the top of that list of the best, but thats just my opinion. you should go test drive both or all 3 cars at your local MB dealership and make your own decision about the cars. good luck with the decision. Joshua.

I dont own a CL, but the one Im speaking about is a 550 (V8). No i dont own a MB dealership, but I do own a tuner shop and help run a MB certified collision center. I recently put a BRABUS kit on a CL, and did a Lorinser kit on a S class for the same girl so thats why I know how they drive because Ive driven them for a while. And because I work so closely with the MB dealership I happen to drive all of these cars for a certain amount of time. I have driven the GL and ML. Well in my opinion, I like the ML better. The new ML drives much better than the old ML, I didnt really like the older ML. I think the ML has a better "feel" to it, meaning it drives more like a smaller SUV/car but it gives you the space of a SUV. I dont think the GL gives you that much more space, it doesnt seem like it does to me, and it drives much more like a large SUV(Escalade, etc.) I dont like the larger SUV's so thats why I dont like the GL, but if thats your thing then you'd probably like the GL over the ML. I think the ML drives a lot better than the GL, but I like that kind of driving vehicle. I dont like big SUV's/trucks and thats what the GL reminds me of. Like I said, thats just what I think.
