JJ's Project BRABUS
Discussion
Changes for changes sake and a Brabus store that sees you coming and can't stop laughing at how much one individual can waste on a car and not add one penny to its value.
Performance mods are fine, suspension mods are good too, but the rest you need help for.
One of these people who can't leave it alone. Yawn.

no need for snidey comments go beat ur wife or kick the neighbours cat if u wanna be miserable.
Haha - I've bought nothing from the "BRABUS store" except for the £35 (delivered from Germany) set of 4 tailored car mats which I bought as spare.
The only real external mods are roof vinyl (£40), some 3M DIY carbon wrapping (£50), some team Heko wind deflectors (£0) and.....erm.....
Why leave it alone though - cars are extensions to our personalities

P.s. this is a £5k car - not gonna pay for a £2k wrap or £1000 a corner for wheels or £8000 for ceramic brakes.
Not saying that to justify, just to add context.
Each day I walk out of my pokey terraced house and see it parked on the road it puts a smile on my face and that's all that matters
Similarly, I get so many people asking me about the car (not 18yr olds in maccy d's) and attend the avenue drivers club I queens square and it gets as much attention as the other cars.

I Love it 
But then i may be a tad biased
Some of you in here are downright offensive though, if you don't like what someone has done to there car do you REALLY need to say anything? If you do, it speaks volumes about your character. Constructive critisicsm is fine but some people are just plain rude and it's really not necessary.

nail on head, and whilst it does that then its all good .....JJ
some bits I like, some bits I don't but in the past I'm sure my cars have been the same ... some like, some don't .....
some proper miserable people on PH .
I'm used to it from the PH community - I got slated before for having a BRABUS private plate when it's not a BRABUS.
I like constructive. In my eyes I've not really done much over the standard look tbh. I don't think I could ever buy a car and leave it OEM. All of my mods are reversible and I keep the oem stuff.
Probably spent £1500 on it over 6 years and most of that was bilstein suspension (£500) and wilwood callipers from a lancer (£500)
Only mechanical failure since ownership was clutch - Mitsubishi reliability rocks
Spent more time building the forfour community and pulling together a technical forum to help other owners than modding.

ok - few weekends ago got the awesome Polish guys near me to wash my car and then I set about it with my 2 new products from Ultimate Finish!
and it arrived the next day - excellent service!!
the tar remover is awesome......just a few rubs and its gone and saves my clay bar for other things.
and the C4 is pretty awesome too.
degreased (couldn't get hold of any rubbing alcohol so used the contact cleaner i have) applied and buffed off! awesome results.....
BEFORE:
HALF AND HALF:
WING MIRRORS:
DOOR HANDLES:
I also used it on the rubber surrounds, the aerial, the rear boot handle, rear wiper and all my carbon wrap stuff. Used about half the bottle.
