Mansory is a German tuning house from Kulmbach, founded in 1989, specializing in premium body kits for the G-Class, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maybach. For the Mercedes G63 W463 facelift (post-2018 and the 2024+ update) Mansory offers four programs: Star Trooper, Gronos Black Edition, Gronos Coupé, and GT Wide Body. These aren't 'bumper add-ons' — they're full visual reconstructions with carbon parts, widened arches, and signature M10 wheels. Here are the St. Petersburg 2026 install prices — what each kit includes and what labor costs.
Mansory programs for the G-Class in 2026
Mansory's 2026 G63 W463 lineup has four core programs. Star Trooper is the entry point: front + diffuser + side trim + wheels. Gronos Black Edition is the full kit with rear bumper and carbon hood. Gronos Coupé is a two-door conversion with shortened rear doors (rare, made-to-order). GT Wide Body is the wide-arch conversion with 70-100 mm flares per side — most radical visually and most complex legally. Prices below split into kit cost (Mansory ships direct from Kulmbach) and St. Petersburg studio labor.
Program | Includes | Kit, RUB | Labor, RUB |
|---|---|---|---|
Star Trooper | Front bumper, diffuser, side trim, M10 22" wheels | 1,500,000 – 2,500,000 | 600,000 – 900,000 |
Gronos Black Edition | + Rear bumper, carbon hood, sill cladding, M10 24" | 2,500,000 – 3,500,000 | 850,000 – 1,200,000 |

What's in each program
Mansory builds with premium materials: real carbon (Forged M-Carbon brand), Cumulus Nappa leather, signature M10 forged 7075-aluminum wheels. Every part has a serial number and certificate — important for resale and insurance. Below is what comes in each base program.

What else moves price and certification
Russian certification. Vehicle-spec change in the title via VNIITs KPK is mandatory for GT Wide Body (arch flares) and recommended for the others. Cost: 80-180k RUB + 2-4 weeks. Without it — risk of fines and registration suspension.
Body-color match paint. Mansory ships parts in primer; we paint to final color in-studio. G63 Designo Magno (matte) — +180-280k RUB; standard colors — +90-150k. Carbon parts get clear 2K lacquer.
ECU programming. After Mansory exhaust install you need an ECU re-flash via XENTRY — without it the car drops into limp mode within 50-100 km. +25-45k RUB.
Kit lead times. Mansory builds to order — kit ships from Kulmbach in 6-12 weeks. GT Wide Body up to 16 weeks. Plan accordingly: the car only sits in the studio during install, not during shipping.
Timeline and process
Star Trooper — 12-14 working days. Gronos Black Edition — 16-20 days. GT Wide Body — 22-28 days (arch flares require body cutting and reinforcement welding). Full + interior — 25-35 days. Workflow: disassembly + photo log → factory parts off → Mansory part fitment → weld/mount → primer-filler-paint → clear coat → exhaust and wiring → ECU re-flash → certification (if included). Post-handover: 14 days no wash, 30 days no high-pressure wash.
FAQ
Which Mansory program suits daily driving?
Star Trooper — best fit. No body cutting, reversible (you can return to stock with minimal traces), simplest certification. Gronos Black Edition is the look-vs-practicality compromise. GT Wide Body is for owners who accept parking and certification headaches in exchange for a 'one in the city' car.
How does Mansory affect Mercedes warranty?
On installed parts (bumper, hood, wheels, exhaust, reupholstery) dealer warranty doesn't apply. On other systems (engine, transmission, electrics) it stands unless Mansory directly impacts them. ECU re-flash for the exhaust may invalidate the engine warranty — so we keep a removable (readable) tune that returns to stock when the car needs dealer service.
Can the stock look come back after Mansory?
Star Trooper and Gronos — yes, without body traces (factory mounts, clean reversal at 200-400k RUB). GT Wide Body — no: arch widening requires body cutting; once back, the cuts remain visible and re-certification doesn't pass. Major resale factor: GT Wide cuts G63 market value by 2-3M RUB for a 'considering' buyer.
Mansory vs Brabus on a G63?
Mansory — more 'statement,' carbon and wide arches, 'one in the city' status. Brabus — classic, more 'gentlemanly,' better integration with factory design, and a wider certified-installer network. Brabus holds resale value better; Mansory is the niche product. Prices are comparable at equivalent programs. Choose by aesthetic preference.
Where is Mansory certified in Russia in 2026?
Through VNIITs KPK and NAMI labs — the main bodies certifying vehicle-construction changes. Mansory is officially TÜV-certified in Germany, which simplifies the Russian procedure but doesn't waive it. GT Wide Body may require a body-strength expert review — adds 60-120k RUB to the certification quote. We handle it turnkey — the customer gets the car with the updated title.
