I had my car detailed after being sprayed with epoxy from works going on at the site next to our office (the big concrete tank in the background). Also fitted wheel spacers that are working well with the lowered suspension ..
So I ended up getting rid of the Brabus replica diffuser and replaced it with the OEM AMG diffuser. Also added a front lip kit to it. Next will be my wheels and coils.
I'm loving the front lip that you put on. I was looking at the same one for mine. Does it fit on top of the chrome/black AMG styling lip that comes with the AMG packaging? Or does the OEM one have to come out?

Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I like it. This is just a Brabus replica - fitment was pure BS! Spent hours trying to get it the tips mounted correctly. And yes, I kept my tow hook there in case I decide to remove the diffuser and go back to OEM. Waiting for my front lip to be delivered and then getting 22" wheels.

Hi, Do you still have the replica diffuser? Whiling to sell it? I live in Houston area and I was looking for some change on my GLE400. I would love to add that diffuser (AMG or Replica, doesn't matter).
I was thinking doing the same with mine (GLE400 Sport), how hard it was to change it? Fitment issues?
Not hard at all! And no fitment issues whatsoever for me. I seen someone complaining about the tips being off on their car. But they look perfect to me. I prefer this look over the oem amg diffuser.
Got a great deal on it for like $300 bucks on eBay. With the tips, diffuser , hardware etc.
Went on a road trip with the GLE43 to go mountain biking.
Its great getting 22 mpg while going 85 mph
I wish mines came with ventilated seats and adaptive cruise control.
Other than that its the best SUV that I've ever owned!

I usually remove the front wheel, drop the saddle and strap the bile in upright. It's one reason why I bought the GLE as many other SUVs can't take that.
I have put them on the top, but that's not recommended if you don't use a step ladder! I ended up slipping and damaging the car

It's the 1up heavy d rack. its all aluminum and steel and will take a beating while going offroading and wont get loose.Id recommend using up 2 to bikes for hitch style horizontal racks likes mines.
If you're going to mount 3 bikes or more I would get a vertical hanging rack like a velocirax or jb rack. The steel that sticks out of the tow hitch doesn't protrude as much like on a horizontal rack and will have less stress on the metal. I've seen racks snap on the reddit forum with guys mounting 3 ebikes to a horizontal style rack.
Id personally never mount a mountain bike on a roof specially on a SUV. Its too much of a hassle to install.
Hitch rack is the way to go. Plus your MPG doesn't suffer
