Bought NUGEN's ex car,how much do brabus mods cost

[noony]

(I would put this in the mercedes section but it's very inactive)

We have bought NUGEN's (of neon'd murci fame) ex S500L. I love this car. It has some Brabus mods(ECU, exhaust and wheels) and was wondering how much thse would have cost?

These cars at under 30k are a bargain.

Are you talking about a 4 door LWB car with a few Brabus mods? Who knows what the ECU mods cost? give Brabus a call, but I would guess at £1k per corner on the alloy/tyre front.

Although quiet there are enough enthusiatsts to give an opinion in the Mercedes forum.

Yes, it's dark blue/green with tan interior. I don't think ours has any suspension mods.

[cacatous]

That car has the Brabus wheels, turned arches, no suspension mods because it has air suspension, four pipe exhaust.

I wasn't aware of any ECU mods to the car but I might be wrong.

Did he give you a reason why he was selling the car?

[Fabio]

How are you getting on with the car noony?

Very nice those S500's.

[noony]

Deal fell through at the last minute, something wrong with the gearbox...

[cacatous]

Really?

What was wrong with it?

[noony]

Don't know, the light came up saying gearbox fault, and the dealer wouldn't send it to an offical merc place, instead a local mechanic. We weren't happy about it so decided not to get it.

By chance, do you know a guy who has/used to have an old model silver E55AMG? I think he got the car...

[cacatous]

I don't know the guy who had an E55.

Shame about the gearbox though!

Can't think what could be wrong with it unless it is just one of those things?

[fabio]

How long did you have the car for before you discovered the problem?

[cacatous]

It wasn't my car or were you talking to Noony?

[fabio]

Err, Noony of course Unless you have a Merc as well?

[cacatous]

Saw his car outside the office the other day. How unlucky eh?
