Mercedes GL/GLS class X166 2012-2019 Full body kit with bumpers AMG V1 (GLS63)

Description

The AMG V1 body kit with full bumper (GLS63) transforms the Mercedes GLS X166 (facelift) into a GLS 63 AMG look: it replaces the front and rear bumpers, adds a rear diffuser with chrome exhaust tips and front and rear fender flares, while the headlights, hood and grille remain stock. Parts made from composite polypropylene (PP) fit in the factory mounting points; for the GL X166 2012–2015 the kit does not fit directly.

What’s included in the AMG V1 kit with full bumper?

• AMG GLS63 front bumper;
• AMG GLS63 rear bumper;
• GLS63 AMG rear diffuser with chrome tips;
• AMG GLS63 front fender flares;
• AMG GLS63 rear fender flares.

The GLS 63 style bumpers are wider than stock, so the fender flares are included in the set together with them — this way the front, side and rear form one continuous line. The list does not include the radiator grille, headlights, hood or badge: they remain from the vehicle. If you want to change the grille as well, it is selected separately — for example, GT Panamericana for GLS or GT Panamericana Black for GLS; the model-specific grille mounts to the factory креплення, and the badge is transferred from the original one.

Which vehicle is the kit for: GLS or GL?

The X166 body was produced in two versions: GL (pre-facelift) and GLS (facelift). In the catalog they are listed together as GL/GLS X166 2012–2019, but the front-end parts are different: different headlights, hood, grille and bumpers. Therefore, this kit is designed specifically for the GLS, and on the GL the individual GLS bumpers are not a direct replacement.

For the GL there are two options on the website. AMG body kit (for GL) — GL63 AMG styling while keeping the GL front end. Facelift conversion kit from GL to GLS AMG — a complete conversion: in addition to the bumpers, diffuser and fender flares, it includes front headlights, hood, rear taillights and grille. If you are unsure about the body version, send the manager a photo of the front end — they will verify it.

The set is intended to transform a standard GLS. If the vehicle already has an AMG Line package or another body kit installed, уточніть compatibility of the fender flares and bumpers by photo before ordering.

AMG V1: full bumper or rear diffuser — which to choose?

There are two AMG V1 options for the GLS in the catalog. This one is the full version: it replaces both the front and rear bumpers and includes both pairs of fender flares. AMG V1 body kit with rear diffuser (GLS63) consists of the AMG GLS63 front bumper, rear diffuser with chrome tips and front fender flares — the rear bumper and rear fender flares remain stock. Front end отдельно — AMG GLS63 front bumper.

How is the body kit painted and installed?

1. Parts are supplied unpainted.
2. First, all elements are test-fitted on the vehicle without paint: fitment, mounting points and gaps are checked. If there are parking sensors or a camera on the bumpers, their locations are verified at the same stage.
3. After test-fitting, the parts are prepped and painted in the body color.
4. Final installation is into the factory locations; a bodywork technician sets the gaps.

It is better to entrust such a kit to a specialized service with experience in bodywork. Installation is available at the network of certified DD Tuning service centers — the manager will point you to the nearest one.
