Mercedes Gle 53 Amg W167 complete front package

For the Mercedes-Benz GLE 53 AMG (W167), the “Complete Front Package” is the definitive way to achieve the aggressive, wide-body look of the high-performance AMG SUV. Whether you are performing a conversion on a standard GLE-Class or refreshing an existing 53 AMG, this package is centered around the signature Panamericana vertical-slat aesthetic.

1. The Panamericana Grille

The most recognizable feature of the GLE 53 is the AMG-specific radiator grille.

• Design: Features 15 vertical chrome-plated struts, a nod to the legendary 300SL racing heritage.

• Tech Support: The package includes a dedicated bracket for the 360° Front Camera and is fully compatible with DISTRONIC PLUS (Adaptive Cruise Control) sensors.

• Finish: Available in classic Chrome or the Night Package version (High-Gloss Black).

2. AMG Front Apron & Aerodynamics

The GLE 53 bumper is significantly more sculpted than the standard AMG Line bumper found on the GLE 350 or 450.

• A-Wing Design: The lower part of the bumper features a large “A-wing” central air intake that optimizes cooling for the 3.0L Inline-6 Turbo engine.

• Functional Air Inlets: Large outer air intakes with two horizontal “flics” (fins) per side that channel air toward the high-performance braking system.

• Front Splitter: A structural lower lip that reduces front-end lift. In the Night Package, this splitter and the intake fins are finished in deep gloss black.

3. Complete Package Components

A full front-end conversion or assembly typically includes the following:

4. Technical Notes for 2024+ Facelift (LCI)

If you are looking at the 2024–2026 Facelift version of the W167, there are two key updates included in the “Complete Package”:

• Revised DRL Signature: The headlights feature a new “four-point” light signet. If you are retrofitting an older model, the bumper cutouts are designed to fit these slimmer, more modern units.

• Transparent Hood Integration: For vehicles with the Surround View system, the package supports the “Transparent Hood” feature, which uses the front camera to show the terrain directly under the front of the vehicle on the MBUX display.

Professional Tip: If you are converting a standard “Non-AMG Line” GLE (Luxury/Standard) to a GLE 53, you must also purchase the AMG Fender Flares. The AMG bumper is wider than the standard bodywork, and without the matching flares, the bumper will protrude past the wheel arches.
