You'd get laughed out of every VIP lounge in the city. No, no, you need something more special than that, something more ostentatious. And if you're in a G-Wagen, then Polish tuning company [Carlex Design ]()has just the thing for you. That is, if you want to look like you're rolling around in a 1960s bathroom. Anyone who's been to a grandparent's house with original décor from the '60s, knows the sorts of color scheme I'm talking about. Soft pinks, baby blues, and minty greens were everywhere in the '60s but in this case we're talking about the latter. Carlex completely custom-designed the cabin of this[ Mercedes-AMG G63]() and gave it an almost entirely mint-green color scheme that looks as if it was upholstered using only the bathrooms of various Man Men characters. Unsurprisingly, it's called the Mint&Gold Edition. ![]() ![]() There's very little inside this G-Wagen that isn't mint green, with only contrasting black and carbon fiber accents throughout. The seats are green, as is the Alcantara headliner, dashboard, and steering wheel. It's a minty assault on the eyes and I can't imagine being able to drive around in such a car for more than a few minutes without getting a migraine. Carlex did more than just reupholster everything, though. It also gave the G-Wagon new seats, which are more extravagant and aggressive looking than the G63's stock pair. They're also common on Carlex G-wagens. But stock G-Wagen seats are lovely, so Carlex better make sure these sportier seats feel better. ![]() ![]() ![]() The exterior is painted in the same shade of minty green, too. However, at least there's some sort of visual break in the green outside the car, as its wheels have a light gold finish. Carlex also threw out the Mercedes badge in favor of its own. A Mercedes G-Wagen doesn't need help attracting attention, especially an AMG G63, with its more aggressive bodywork, bigger wheels, and V8 rumble. However, when this mint-green G-Wagen hits the road, there won't be a single available eyeball not fixed on its *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
