Carlsson offers front lips for the bumper, trunk spoilers, roof spoilers. I saw that vorsteiner offers a whole kit for it. I have an E-class as well

Which model does she have? Does it have Airmatic suspension or regular springs and shocks? Does it have the AMG package or not? What trim level is it? Classic? Elegance? Avantgarde?

Also, what kind of mods are you looking for? Handling? Exterior? Interior? Engine?

it rly depends on the route you wanna take...im guessin' you just wanna do cosmetic mods, right?

as far as other German tuners other than Brabus...there is AMG, Carlsson, Lorinser, etc.

if you wanna do something quick, clean and relatively inexpensive, how about some upgraded OEM wheels? check out this E200CDI with CLS wheels....looks nice imo...
