Now if that really was carbo fibre and not a plastic wrap, that G350 would be less than 1.5tons and go like a G55

Re: Very different body kit

I think its a bit more thoughtful than the other body kit picture I posted, wider possibly more aerodynamic, and a sublime interior

Re: Very different body kit

True.  Seats are lovely.  Prefer 2 tone and contrast to the car, but wouldn't say no.

This is also pre-facelift G350, with the older geargox and dash, but some prefer.  Would be £2-5k more otherwise.

Are you sure you haven't got them mixed up ?  I definetly prefer the first one (probably minus the roof spopilers and 23" wheels) to the offering from Prindville.

Re: Very different body kit

No Doug I haven't, definitely the lower one but obviously less is more on a G-Wagen so a vehicle without adornment is best of all

Paul I hadn't noticed the lumps stuck on the doors and I don't like the roof spoilers or the 23" wheels (where do you get tyres from) so I don't even like the one I said I liked ! blush However it does look quite chunky with the wide arches and I think the front end is a bit more G Wagon than the one with Prindivilles additions. As you said it's hard to improve on the original.
