Some additional Vath / Expression pics

Here are some more snaps we took. I am 95% happy with way Expression bodykit turned out, although there some additional fitment issues that need recification. The carbon fibre atcually turned out really well.

The Vath kit was installed by Ramspeed in sydney and they also rescued the bodykit from the first bodyshop that took a crack at it.

After over-capitalising the car like crazy I am now finished spending money on the ML - after 18 months. My girlfriend will never understand but I am happy

Hi mate, the kit was produced by Expression Motorsport in Belgium (www.expression.be). Its designed for the face-lifted (ie post-2008) ML63 and i had to get them to modify it a bit for the 2006-08. (i actually don't think it was designed for the ML63 model at though, more like the regular non-AMG MLs). In my opinion, there are some quality issues with it, and i needed to spend a bit of money to get it up to scratch. But in my humble opinion it looks great on the car and even better in person. It certainly attracts a bit of attention from fellow motorists. I certainly have to take my hat off to the guys at Ramspeed in sydney who rescued the kit after the job the previous bodyshop did.

The engine and tuning work is by Vath (www.vaeth.com) and i have nothing but positive things to say about their tune and exhaust. The power of the car is simply amazing. I have been driving the ML for the last few days straight, (having not had the car for almost 2 months), and today i drove my SL63 for first time this week and it almost felt slow. The SL63 is no slouch and gave me a real appreciation of the improvement Vath has made. The Vath upgrade was also installed by Ramspeed.
