Face Lift GL 320 2007 to GLE

Hi everyone.. Just bought an 2007 GL 320 in 70.000 km.. mechanically its in a good condition.
but as it has age I want to update its looks.

I saw this Youtube account which updates ML166 to an GLE https://youtu.be/fMdPd2MtS3Q

I am wondering if anyone knows if I can do the same to My GL 164

Surly you must mean GLS, as GLE is a smaller vehicle.

The answer in any event is no ... unless you want to at least double the price you’ve paid for this one.

Eren, welcome. The example you gave, changing an ML to a GLE, was done on a single platform, the W166 platform. You are asking to update an X164 GL to an X166 GLS. This is not possible, in a strict sense.

Thank you for the reply,

until now I bought 21” amg rims (they are lovely)

Bought a Alpine ılx-f903d music system with car play and back camera (this is a very nice unit)

painted all interior trims to jet black..

made a ton of esthetic touchups


now I will buy the x166 side mirrors for x164


https://m.carpartstuning.com/index.p...5986465&name=&

and the thin fog lights

https://m.made-in-china.com/product/...813491885.html

after all this my goal is to change the steering wheel to an s class wheel. I hope someone did this before..

and finally to find the x166 chrome spoiler under front bumper.

please let me know if you know any oem parts for the remaining two

thanks
