Re: G63 ///AMG or is it?

I had seen this one John. And rightly or wrongly I thought it looked nice. But am also aware it will come with all the associated issues.

It would need be viewed because sometimes these "upgrade" kits are chinese and not the genuine benz, amg or brabus as the ad claims.

'shiny car syndrome'  is a very easy condition to suffer from and a way a seller can distract you from  serious issues like history/engine/mileage/etc...

Re: G63 ///AMG or is it?

so many nice, genuine cars are being ruined by adding these body kits of dubious quality. I think the  463 looks much better in original, non-AMG, non-Brabus guise.

I've just been tasked to build such a vehicle on a W460 platform,  I'm with you Arnie the styling of an original W463 is spot on, but,,,,,, the man who pays the piper calls the tune.

I still think the W460 is spot on ?

Has good points .... The simplicity is the big one for me 

Bad points..... Any of the engines
