I just spoke to my dealer and he said there were no grilles available worldwide at the moment and to check next month.
.
When I asked to get mine ordered ( a few weeks ago) the parts department told me there were a couple of them at the Jacksonville (Florida) distribution center.
Wait.....what? I was just told that an ordered GLE53 grill would NOT fit my 580. The shape was the same but the components behind the grill where different. Even the size of the circle where the star is was supposedly different. I was told that they tired to fit it but could not make it work without altering the new grill.
I called a little bit of BS but after what I had been though I was finished, beat up, ad just needed a car.
Here is my friend fitting mine : GLE53AMG Grill on a GLE300d AMG Line
Recently installed 22 on my 450. Running steel springs. Any tips/advices on lowering? Thx everyone
The shop who done mine used V166 GLE Coupe Lowering springs and modified the cups that held the springs in on the rear. The fronts fitted without any modifying at all.
How has the paint held up on the steps? I want to do that to the steps I have, I ordered them but have not installed them trying to decide which way to go with the. I hate chrome as well.

Not sure how either but the bodyshop done an excellent job. They removed and split the steps down before painting them. Your shoes mostly only touch the rubber parts of the steps anyway

Hope this helps
Nice. How u find the ride? Looking to do whole suspension swap if any available but interested to know how u think of the ride with springs upgrade
yes. Maybe 23s would have been a better choice but ya. They fit with no problems. Thinking of lowering if or when they are hardwares made for these vehicles

Over the last couple of weeks I have had a few modifications done to my GLE,
1st Job was fitting 23’s in black to complete the murdered out look,
2nd was to space the rears out slightly to give it that more aggressive look
Then I was unhappy with the arch gap, as I am running regular steel springs and not air ride I found it near on impossible to get the look I wanted.
I called a few suspension manufacturers and they said that they had them in development but has stopped due to the lack of demand.
so I left it with my friends at R-Tec auto design who managed to source the parts and have dropped the car by around 20/25mm all round.
After that I sent it to a local detailing company who done a full paint correction and ceramic coating !!
The final result in my opinion is unbelievable, am so happy. I know it may not be everyone’s taste but I LOVE it 😂
