OK experimental but it's a look in too, what could be! So much for the economy.

That top picture looks like it's been photochopped. :thinking:

Looks good though. :thumbup:

Seek
No not photo chopped but the photo was not for public pinching It took a bit to work out how to borrow the pic:bounce:
It's a AMG Mercedes Sprinter with custom Bumper and side panels, the Grey insert are from the vito, it's a neat trick, I thought of doing it to my sprinter until I found out just how expensive those strips are from a Mercedes dealership." I'm not that rich."

Just my opinion guys.
Mercedes use the same plates for what ever reason for display purposes?
The original posting from where I found this can be viewed in a different light clearer resolution too.
At the bottom the side skirts are carbon fiber rear skirt behind rear wheel has also incorporated a modified rear bumper to blend with line of the skirts, center mid based the exhaust is set to flow via the side pipe, net little trick
The front bumper has been filled and color matched the small Grey trim center of the body length are from a vitro two are upside down cut and shut to fit The chrome grille inset is genuine too, as there are three grilles to chose from optional chrome inset just adds to the cost, but looks great
I admit it looks just a little odd, But I've never known Mercedes to do a photo chop with the exception of futuristic models, then the back ground drop has the same simulation as in pop art 3D look
The head lighting incorporates the new Bi-Xenon cornering lighting system which is optional , this gives a different look to the front the little lights incorporated into the bumper are not spot lights, but part of the cornering light system ,
The side door locks, Handle, looks deleted!But is not ,as it is the optionally key less entry and side system incorporating the Electric door opening system thus no handles.
Even if it is fake, it is sure a mean and very neat design as I'm personally not keen on the heavy side bumper strip which is a snap on pull of non fixed system , again part of the new Mercedes system to cut costing in the event of accident damage, even the front chassis frame bolts on bolts off a quick fix system of a throw away frame , no more need for chassis aliment, from the body works, which means quick turnaround repairs and less insurance premiums.

Check the original photo out it's clearer

Brabus, Carson, especially AMG , are big business in the EU sector for modified Mercedes Products.
authors note: Ran this into my high density photo shop! I concede it's not right with the side skirts pixels erratic on the lead line join, with Grey bumper strip! It also has the same background, So I admit it may be doctored, but I still think it's neat :cry:
