Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Mercedes GLE V167

MANSORY Carbon Body Programme for the Mercedes-Benz GLE V167 — the MHA mid-size SUV between GLC and GLS, covering GLE 350 through AMG GLE 63 S E Performance

The Mercedes-Benz GLE V167 launched in 2019 as the third-generation GLE (first two were badged ML-Class), riding on the MHA rear-drive SUV architecture shared with the GLS X167 flagship. Within the Mercedes SUV hierarchy the V167 sits one size above the GLC X254 and one below the GLS X167 — the GLE is Affalterbach's mid-size volume SUV, roughly the E-Class of SUVs in positioning terms. Donor configurations the Mansory Carbon Body Kit covers include GLE 350 4MATIC (inline-six turbo-diesel or turbo-petrol), GLE 450 4MATIC (M256 3.0L inline-6 with 48V EQ Boost mild hybrid, 367 hp), GLE 450d 4MATIC (OM656 inline-6 diesel, 367 hp), plug-in hybrids GLE 400 e / 450 e 4MATIC (M254 2.0L + PHEV), AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ (M256 inline-6 with EPT electric turbo, 435 hp pre-facelift / 449 hp facelift), and the range-topping AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ (M177 4.0L biturbo V8 with 48V EQ Boost, 612 hp). The Mansory programme also accommodates the GLE Coupé C167 fastback SUV variant where requested, though the dedicated coupé-body set is catalogued separately. A mid-cycle refresh arrived in 2023 with MBUX Hyperscreen-generation infotainment and revised front fascia — Mansory's V167 carbon set is available in both pre-facelift (2019-2022) and facelift (2023-onwards) body-line revisions.

Why choose a Mansory carbon conversion for the GLE V167?

The factory GLE V167 is a well-proportioned mid-size SUV but is deliberately understated — Mercedes reserves the overtly aggressive design language for the AMG GLE 63 S, and even that is modest by modern performance-SUV standards. Owners stepping up from an AMG GLC 63 or cross-shopping against a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, BMW X5 M Competition, or Range Rover Sport SV often want a visual statement proportional to the V167's 600+ hp output. Mansory's carbon programme adds ~40 mm of total body width, a lowered front splitter assembly, quad-exit trapezoidal exhaust housings integrated into the carbon rear diffuser, vented carbon bonnet with heat-extractor louvres, widened wheel-arch extensions front and rear (bonded construction, body-colour flange for paint match), a rear roof-spoiler extension, and full LED tail-light tinting. Every visible carbon surface is autoclave-cured pre-preg in German-workshop spec — matte clear, gloss clear, or forged-weave options on request. The kit retains all factory radar, camera, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensor geometry required for MBUX Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist, and Active Lane Keep, so the donor remains ADAS-legal in its registration market.

The full Mansory Carbon Body Kit for the Mercedes GLE V167 comprises the following pre-preg carbon components: front bumper assembly with integrated splitter, brake-cooling ducts, LED daytime-running-light surrounds and AMG-style vertical fins; vented carbon bonnet with twin heat-extractor louvres and raised power-dome centreline; carbon front fenders with integrated wheel-arch flares and AMG-style air outlets; carbon side skirts with flick-up aero strakes; carbon wheel-arch extensions rear (bonded, body-colour flange); rear bumper assembly with quad-exit exhaust cut-outs and carbon diffuser; carbon roof-spoiler extension; carbon rear-hatch lip spoiler; carbon side-mirror housings; carbon window trim set replacing factory chrome; quad-exit stainless-steel Mansory sports exhaust with valved flaps and CAN-bus mode control; Mansory forged wheels 22" or 23" (see Wheels section below); optional carbon interior overlay package covering dash, centre console, door cards, steering-wheel spokes, and seat-back shells; optional Alcantara headliner and quilted nappa leather upholstery retrim in Mansory's in-house atelier.

Sister Mansory builds on related Mercedes SUV donors

Customers cross-shopping within the Mercedes SUV line typically evaluate these related Mansory programmes: the GLE Coupé C167 fastback-bodied variant of the same MHA platform with dedicated coupé-body aero (see the dedicated GLE Coupé Mansory page on hodoor.world); the GLS X167 three-row flagship SUV on the shared MHA chassis, and its Maybach-badged variant; the AMG GLC 63 compact-SUV alternative for owners who want a smaller Mansory footprint; the G-Class W463A body-on-frame off-road icon in its Mansory Gronos or Viva Edition forms; and at the sport-saloon end of the range, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Coupé. Each programme carries its own dedicated carbon architecture — no parts are shared with the V167 set.

Ordering process and installation lead time

To place an order, begin by confirming the donor VIN, model year, engine variant, and any factory AMG Dynamic Plus / Night Package / Manufaktur paint-to-sample options on the vehicle — this data informs paint code matching, wheel-offset selection, and fitment of AMG-specific components such as carbon ceramics and performance exhaust valves. A VIN-level quote is returned within 24-48 hours, including full component list, paint scheme, wheel package, installation location options, customs documentation for the destination country, and delivery ETA. Production at the Mansory atelier typically runs 6-10 weeks for a complete V167 kit, with installation either at the German workshop, at an authorised Mansory installer in the destination market, or by Mansory-certified roving technicians dispatched on-site for high-value builds. Full invoicing, export-documentation, and aftersales support operate through hodoor.world. Reach the Mansory sales desk via +44 7488 818747 (WhatsApp).

FAQ — Mercedes-Benz GLE V167 Mansory carbon programme

Does the Mansory V167 kit fit my 2019 pre-facelift GLE 450? Yes — pre-facelift (2019-2022) and facelift (2023-onwards) body-line variants are supported; the kit is assembled to match your model-year fascia geometry.

Will the DISTRONIC radar and Active Lane Keep cameras continue to work after the bumper is replaced? Yes — the Mansory front bumper preserves radar and camera apertures; the workshop requires factory calibration of driver-assistance systems after installation, which is included in full-service German-atelier installs and quoted separately for remote installations.

Is the carbon bonnet compatible with the factory pedestrian-impact airbag system? Yes — the carbon bonnet is engineered with factory-equivalent crush zones and hinge geometry so the active pedestrian-protection system continues to operate as specified.

Can the Mansory exhaust be fitted to the GLE 350 4MATIC diesel? Yes — a dedicated exhaust variant is available for diesel donors (GLE 300d, GLE 400d, GLE 450d), tuned to diesel-acoustic specification and AdBlue / SCR compatible.

What forged-wheel diameters fit without AIRMATIC-lift or arch-trimming? 22" and 23" Mansory forged designs fit factory AIRMATIC ride-height settings without modification; larger 24" options require manual AIRMATIC calibration and are assessed case-by-case.

Does the programme include a retrimmed interior? The full interior retrim (nappa leather, Alcantara, contrast stitching, Mansory-logo embroidery, carbon dash and console inlays) is offered as an optional secondary package — it is not included in the base body-kit pricing.

Can Mansory match factory Manufaktur paint colours? Yes — Manufaktur paint codes (e.g. Brilliant Blue Magno, Selenite Grey Magno, MANUFAKTUR Cashmere White Magno) are cross-referenced and body panels finished in the matching colour at the atelier.
