LOVE the rare exterior color..

So a 2013 ML W166 350 transformed into 2016 GLE63 facelift exterior.

Plans:

GLE63 full bodykit
AMG Sidesteps
Facelift hood
Faccelift fenders
Facelift headlights
22" Wheels
Rear entertainment

This car had alot of items stolen from it so alot was missing when I got it... Like the damn sunfoor for example!!??

Chris The Swede

I go to the bottom og things to make sure ALL is prestine....



And in wth the missing sunroof..Damn what a job..



In place....

Chris The Swede

GLE Facelift AMG63 kitt ordered. Inc rear bumper not shown in pic.


The front....Wunderbar..



Since all cables for rear entertainment was preinstalled I found it very easy to install it all..

drwolf

Cool project, are you changing the rear lights as well?

DanD.

Hope you are using app for check in and check out for time measurement.
Really would like to see the hours.
Than multiply it by labor $ at dealer to see if cheaper to get GLE.
Very cool project and exterior color is the best for ML in my opinion.
Good luck.

Chris The Swede

Not even close to the cost of a GLE. Far Far from it..Plus a normal GLE is not sold with the 63 option look..

You doing fender flares?

M~Factor

Chris The Swede

Dont think so...

nookie

Cuz The flare lines seem molded into the bumper.

Chris The Swede

Oh you mean those..Yeah they will be on there..
