The FAB DESIGN Mercedes M-Class

Posted by www.eMercedesBenz.com on April 7, 2006 at 11:20 AM CST

Next up in our first unofficial FAB DESIGN day, we have the FAB  
DESIGN Mercedes M-Class.

As you can see from the photos, the FAB kit for the M- is slightly  
more pronounced than the S-Class' modifications.

To kick things off, FAB began by adding a new front bumper featuring  
integrated ram protection and an underride guard.  In the rear, FAB  
added a rounded valance and a new cover for the tailgate.  And  
finally, as was the case with the S-Class, FAB wrapped up the M's  
tuning package by adding a stainless steel quad exhaust system and  
custom-designed 20" rims.

Not my cup of tea, but as they say, beauty is in the eye of the  
beholder.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE


The FAB DESIGNŽ Aerodynamic Kit for the new Mercedes Benz M-Class


Fascinatingly sporting and elegant: FAB DESIGNŽ offer an exciting  
wide body version of the Mercedes M-Class.

The new FAB DESIGNŽ body conversion captivates with its polished flow  
of the lines and numerous functional details: The face of the M-Class  
is redefined by the new frontbumper with integrated ram protection  
and underride guard. The new performance of the M-Class is dynamical  
but with elegance.

The back of the M-Class from FAB DESIGNŽ is designed more strikingly  
by the combination from the new, smoothly rounded, rear valance and  
the new cover for the tailgate. Moreover these two parts are an  
optimal addition to the FAB DESIGNŽ sports exhaust system with four  
90 millimeter tail-pipes.

To go with the FAB DESIGNŽ aerodynamic kit there were developed the  
new FAB DESIGNŽ type 6 Monoline, 10Jx20 alloy wheels. These one-piece  
rims use the popular 6 hole design of the Swiss customizer's rims but  
however have six ventilation scoops for the brakes because of the  
large size of the wheel. For the tires there are chosen Dunlop high  
performance tires of the dimension 295/40 R 20.
