Re: Its a Questeion of Taste - The New G Street Line

I dont like the roof spoiler. I really cant see it being any use this side of 199mph. Other than that I dont mind it, but I wouldnt do it to mine.

Re: Its a Questeion of Taste - The New G Street Line

do these custom shops really think they are improving on the original design with these mods? i just don't get what their design team is thinking half the time.

Well, I will defo have it if it was given to me... but i will sell it immediately (don't even care if it was a fair price or not!), I just want enough money for a G500 Cab or a PUR.

Re: Its a Questeion of Taste - The New G Street Line

Too many lights and the interior is way to vulgar IMO.

Like the white colour coding, grille, headlight setup and slotted bonnet but the rest is overkill.

I could cope with looking after the engine mind...

Re: Its a Questeion of Taste - The New G Street Line

Agree with the too many lights and while the bumpers themselves are not awful, on their own, the addition of extraneous lights (that look like complete afterthoughts) make the bumpers look fecking ridiculous. The interior would look pretty good I think, if the piping was black instead of white and the horrendous ART logo on the seatbacks were gone.

I do like the white paint though, and I think the fender flares actually look quite good on their own. The extra cladding on the sidesteps are pretty dumb looking. Again, they look like an afterthought...

I never really liked the spoiler on top... but then again, who cares what I think? I don't care what anyone else thinks, either! 8)

I think it needs a set of air horns on the top of the roof.

You're right, Smart. It actually reminds me of this:

was there not a new member looking for a white AMG the other month for his Mother in law? :P

Not really my taste - think it would suit the honourable member for South Wales.........no? :wink: :lol:

As mentioned more LED's than OXford Street Xmas Lights!

I would have to wear my clown suit if I were to drive it. I'm sure the engine upgades are interesting but everything else is so bad that it borders on comical.

I wish ppl would stop trying to make G 's look aerodynamic with slick bumpers and sideskirts.

They aren't FFS! Get over it! THE END

Re: Its a Questeion of Taste - The New G Street Line

It looks very nice, but if I had on eof those and went trialling, or even for a drive down a green lane, all the expensive bling bits would fall off :lol:

I will stick with my own interpretation of a white G-Wagen thanks.

I'm guessing they kept the MB logo for the owner to wear around his neck. Great car if your house is on wheels :-)
