I’m not a millionaire. But if I really like something, I go for it

My name is Daniel, I live in the north of Poland, and I work offshore — four weeks on, four weeks off — at a refinery in the Pacific. Most of the time I’m flying in from Brazil, but when I’m back home, I want to enjoy what I have. My Mercedes GLE Coupe 400d is part of that.

I’ve had it for over two years. It’s still a great car, but I started thinking maybe it was time to move on. Not because of the engine — that’s perfect — but the styling was starting to feel… old. I kept watching Mercedes GLE Coupe review tuning videos, reading comparison forums, and asking myself the same question: should I trade it in, or upgrade what I already love?

That’s when I found the Mercedes GLE Coupe C167 carbon body kit by LARTE Design. I remembered seeing one of your cars in white on the site and thinking — yeah, that’s the look. I filled out a callback form, left my number, and Lena from the team reached out to me on WhatsApp. It didn’t take long to decide. I ordered the hood first — made it a Christmas present to myself.

I’m not the kind of guy who goes all in at once. I wanted to see the real quality first. When the hood arrived — solid packaging, flawless surface — I knew I made the right call. People around me couldn’t believe it was real carbon. But I didn’t need them to. I knew what I put on the car.

Over time I added the front splitter, side mirrors, and rear diffuser. I didn’t want to overload the design — just clean, sharp lines. The car’s wrapped in matte blue over the original grey, with a Maxhaust exhaust system already installed. So this Mercedes GLE Coupe C167 tuning project wasn’t about changing everything — it was about precision.

I’ve looked at other companies, but most of them either felt too extreme or far too expensive for what they offered. I wanted something that looked bold but still balanced — and that’s exactly what I got. A custom body kit for GLE Coupe C167 AMG that makes the car feel fresh again, without turning it into something it’s not.

Now when I take it out — people stare. Sometimes they ask questions. Sometimes they just look. But really? I didn’t do it for them. I did it for me. And I’m happy.

This wasn’t a cheap upgrade. But like I said — I’m not a millionaire. I just work hard. And when something really speaks to me, I don’t wait.

Now it’s still my GLE Coupe. But it feels like it’s a new car!
