Why Sergey decided to customize his Mercedes GLE
Why Sergey decided to customize his Mercedes GLE
My name is Sergey. A few years ago, I installed a custom body kit from LARTE Design on my BMW X5. Back then, I realized the most important thing — the quality, the fitment, and the way the car’s look transformed exceeded all expectations.
So when my wife bought a new white Mercedes GLE, I had no doubts. I immediately decided she also deserved a beautiful kit. Not to overload the car, but to highlight its style — making it elegant, balanced, and unique.

Why I chose LARTE Design again

Returning to LARTE Design felt natural after my previous project. From an ownership perspective, I already knew how the team works, how they approach details, and how carefully they treat fitment and finishes. Choosing a Mercedes GLE body kit from the same brand wasn’t about comparison — it was about trust built through experience and consistent results.

Building the configuration
Building the configuration
I worked directly with Alexander, my manager. The main idea was contrast: a white body with gloss black parts. We selected a set that included a splitter, diffuser, front grille, a sleek roof spoiler, and added inserts to the front bumper to complete the front lines.
Some elements were kept with body-color accents, and that’s what made the image so refined. The gloss black parts added character and presence, while the white accents kept the overall look clean and sophisticated.

After the body kit installation, the result matched the plan exactly. Once the body kit was installed, every element aligned naturally with the factory lines of the GLE. Over the first few months, the car showed no issues in everyday use with a body kit. Looking back, the installation experience confirmed that subtle customization requires just as much precision as aggressive styling.

When the installation was finished, I brought my wife to the workshop to see the car. She was stunned — in the best way. The custom body kit for the GLE didn’t just make it sportier: it gave the car a premium and expressive personality.
The black-and-white contrast emphasized the lines, the diffuser gave it a stronger stance, and the spoiler tied it all together. My wife couldn’t stop looking at the details, walking around the car with a smile.

How it feels in daily routine
How it feels in daily routine
Living with a customized Mercedes GLE feels calm and reassuring rather than dramatic. In real-world conditions, the car remains easy and intuitive to use, but the emotional connection is stronger. From a practical standpoint, the everyday driving experience stays familiar, while the sense of individuality grows. Using a customized Mercedes over time becomes part of daily life, not a visual distraction.

Four months after installing the body kit, the Mercedes GLE body kit continues to feel relevant and tasteful. The design hasn’t lost its freshness in real-world use, and the contrast elements still look balanced. Looking back, this upgrade proved to be a long-term styling decision — one that complements the car’s character rather than overpowering it.

Now, every time my wife gets behind the wheel, she says she feels more confident — and sees in this car a true reflection of her style. For me, that’s the best reward: the project was a success.
