The boys from Bottrop/Germany are about to release their version of Merc's smallest sportscar, the SLK. And of course a real Brabus has to be black. This is Darth Vader on wheelZ!

Since I can't afford this car... how about just slapping one of these emblems on a plain Merc?

1. What's wrong with a Merc sign anyway?
2. People who do that fail immediately when they are confronted with people who know something about cars. The Brabus logo is also marked in the tailpipes f.i.. They usually forget that detail. I have 1000x more respect for people who drive a genuine Toyota Yaris than I have for posers who stick an AMG, Brabus, Hartmann or Lorinser logo on a standard Merc. I pity those fools.

I still remember people putting GTI decals on their VW Golf and Wolfsburg emblems on their standard Jettas to make them look like something else.

My VW GLI MkV looks like a Jetta at first glance, but it's a very different car as the engine, drivetrain, suspension and front end are completely different. Yet you see some folks with the regular Jetta replace their front grill with a GLI clone with the red stripe as if that fools anyone
