My new 2023 GLE53
So here is my new 2023 GLE53. Loving it for the few miles I drove it to the customs shop.
It is in for a ceramic coat inc wheels and callipers, black badges, full de chrome (the bits Merc miss!) powder coated side skirts and then off next week for the Brabus B53 500 kit

I thought I would get it how I wanted it as soon as possible and I can then enjoy it. Frustrating It comes with a night pack but so much chrome is left the car!




Are breakin procedures the same with the Brabus kit?
You said powder coated side skirts. What's a side skirt, why powder coat, and how do you color match?
The vehicle has silver side steps and I am having these powder coated gloss black to match the trim on the car.




Are you going to install the Brabus badge in the grill? They are subtly cool, but the Sleeper motif is ruined.
Going to keep this a sleeper but do have a small Brabus B sticker for the rear window in black…will see if I like the look of it when I line it up!

What was the cost of the Brabus 500, if you care to share?
(Not that I'm tempted or anything.....)

The silver on the side steps separates from the rubber trim and I had these powder coated!
