My name is David, I’m 39, I live in Belgium and I run my own concrete business. My Mercedes GLE isn’t a work car — it’s for leisure. Trips to France and Italy, dinners with my wife — in those moments, it’s always the GLE I choose. It’s always spotless, well-kept, and now it feels truly unique.
I always liked the GLE, but in stock form it felt too simple, too ordinary. I wanted to keep its premium character, but add individuality. The black gloss body kit from LARTE Design was exactly what I was looking for. The rear diffuser with round exhaust tips impressed me the most — it became the car’s signature detail. Bold but not excessive. Everything looked balanced. These parts became the final touch that made the car’s image perfect.

Tuning has always been part of me
Tuning has always been part of me
At 20, I had a small car I fully customized. Later, an Audi A4 — also tuned. By 35, I thought I was done. My E-Class with a matte finish didn’t need changes. But when I saw the black gloss kit for the GLE, something clicked. I knew I had to do it again.
I compared options carefully. Brabus — too angular for this model. Mansory — impressive, but overly aggressive and far too expensive. LARTE, on the other hand, felt like it continued the DNA of the GLE — a body kit that integrates naturally into the Mercedes design without breaking it. My wife insisted I choose the LARTE signature grille instead of the Panamericana. And honestly, I’m glad I listened — it fits perfectly.

A confident decision
A confident decision
After a conversation with my manager, Alex, and seeing detailed photos, I made my decision within a week — even though I had spent a month comparing beforehand. The LARTE website made things easy: clear, structured, with real examples. Installation was straightforward — stock parts off, new ones on — and suddenly the car looked transformed. Yes, the price felt high at first. But after comparing with other brands, I realized it was fair. Especially when you see how the black gloss parts for the GLE are made, you start respecting the craft. When you buy a cheap kit, no one shows you production. Here, you see how every line is refined until it’s flawless. That’s when you understand what you’re paying for.
For people who work hard, nothing beats the joy of driving your perfect car on the weekend. Now, I’m one of them.
