You walk away from it…and then turn back, just to admire it one more time!

My name is Diego. I’m 28, based in Peru, and I run a business in waste management. Cars have always been more than just transportation for me — they’re part of how I express myself. The Mercedes GLE Coupe became my daily driver for a reason: it’s reliable, fast, understated — but with potential.

Originally, I wanted a V8 AMG, but the wait time was close to nine months. So I decided to focus on what I could change right away — and that meant turning the car into something that matched my own style. With the right upgrades, I knew this platform could deliver a premium, distinctive look without crossing the line into excess.

I’ve owned several SUVs — from an X6 to a Cayenne and a Q8 — but the GLE Coupe C167 had the strongest silhouette. What it lacked was definition. The front was too soft, the rear too neutral. I didn’t want to reinvent the car — I wanted to finish what Mercedes had started.

That’s when I discovered LARTE Design’s tuning for the Mercedes GLE Coupe. From the first photos, I could tell the parts weren’t just aesthetic — they had precision. The double front splitter, the aggressive rear diffuser, and the carbon hood all gave the car more structure and presence. Not flashy — just right.

The images Olya, my manager at LARTE, sent over sealed the deal. I could already imagine how the custom body kit for GLE Coupe would interact with light, reflections, contrast. It wasn’t just about styling — it was design thinking applied to a real machine.

Of course, I had to be sure everything would work in practice. Import tax in Peru is 40%, so there was no room for mistakes. I checked with my Mercedes dealer to confirm that aesthetic modifications wouldn’t void my warranty — and they didn’t. That gave me the green light.

Finding someone qualified to install the kit was the final step. Once I had that — everything moved fast. The kit fit perfectly. We also upgraded the wrap, added larger wheels, and changed the exhaust system. Everything came together.
One note for improvement: the wheels arrived with minimal protective padding. Fortunately, no damage — but it’s something to consider for future customers.

And now? I get looks everywhere I go. Not because it’s loud, but because it’s clean. Balanced. Done right. This wasn’t built for hype. It was built with intent — and it shows. It’s the kind of Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe you walk away from… and then turn back, just to admire it one more time!
