Even a daily car can have character

2023 Mercedes GT AMG 43 X290 body kit review illustration from customer in Romania

Even a daily car can have character

My name is Andrei, I’m from Romania. I work in the corporate world, and my car is not just an escape — it’s part of my everyday rhythm. In the morning, I take my kids to school, during the day I drive to meetings, and in the evening I make my way home through city traffic. For me, a car is something you live with every day, not just on weekends.

When I chose the Mercedes-AMG GT 43, I was drawn to that exact balance: performance, comfort, and versatility. It’s fast, sporty, confident — a perfect everyday car. But over time, I noticed that in black, the GT 43 can sometimes blend into traffic. Visually, it’s easy to mistake it for an E- or C-Class, especially in the city. And I wanted my car to reflect character — restrained on the surface, but with tension underneath.

Why LARTE Design

Why LARTE Design
I had been familiar with LARTE Design projects for a long time. What I appreciated was their clean, precise approach without unnecessary showmanship. I wasn’t looking for something radical — it was important for me to keep the premium feel and everyday usability, while adding visual presence.

I contacted my manager Alex, and from the very first messages it was clear that we were speaking the same language. We discussed how the car should look more confident and sporty, yet still feel appropriate both at the office and at school drop-offs.

That’s how we arrived at a configuration with carbon fiber elements: two spoilers, a front splitter, a rear diffuser, and mirror caps. Everything in carbon, without any additional color accents. I prefer a clean, restrained palette.

How the car changed

How the car changed
Carbon doesn’t demand attention immediately. But once you look closer, the car starts to read very differently. The silhouette became more aggressive, the rear more powerful, the front visually lower and sportier. The GT 43 stopped being just another black sedan in traffic.

Now, in the office parking lot, I often catch colleagues looking twice. And the funniest part is hearing comments like: “Is this really your GT 43? It looks different — almost like a new car.”

My Mercedes-AMG GT 43 remains exactly what it should be — a comfortable, fast car for everyday use. But now it has a character you can feel even during the most ordinary drives.

It doesn’t try to stand out loudly. It simply looks right. And that turned out to be the perfect approach to tuning for me.
