Carlex Design has been hard at work with its range of redesigned bakkies. Its latest offering is the Mercedes-Benz EXY X-Class. It's a limited edition and there willbe just 999 units made. The upgrades and modifications are extensive, with substantial work done cosmetically and under the skin.
There's a new front bumper, bonnet lip, headlight frame, arch extensions, rear spoiler and a whole lot of carbon fibre splashings. The suspension is lowered and the new 20-inch alloy wheels are wrapped in Michelin Latitude Sport 3 rubber. There area fewstickers too. Inside, there's been an overhaul of the trimmings and there are new leather front and rear seats, as well as a leather armrest. There's a new-look steering wheel too. There is also a fake V8 exhaust system, which will make your X-Class sound the part.
No doubt this gives the X-Class that distinctive look that sets it apart from Nissan's Navara but trust a tuner to maybe take things a little too far. Or is this just what the under-selling X-Class needs?
