Taiwan interesting w204 sighting - SD88

So I'm visiting relatives in Taiwan. Wandering the streets of Ximen shopping center and ran into an interesting 204. Some stuff like CF pillars and mirror wings we've all seen before. Looked like a Wald rear bumper and diffuser with quad tips..ok cool. 360 Forged wheels... lucky him for actually getting his order from Jordan. What caught my eye more was the quarter panel and skirt. Looked like some sort of Wald rep. Walking to the front I saw that they had what looked like the Revozport CF grille. Cool. Then it hit me....that's an E90 rep front bumper! Fitment was spot on too.

Anyways, thought I'd share.

That does look interesting! Too bad you couldn't get any shots from the front with those bikes in the way!

After googling it seems like the owner changed the badges himself to SD88. On Taiwanese forums they were talking about it too

Were u looking for chicks in XiMen?

According to Taiwanese forums, SD stands for "Sexy Diamond", which is the name of the owner's clothing store. I'd guess 88 is just some lucky number he put on

I'll side with you. We usually favor the 6's and the 8's, also, the 2's.

That is interesting. Thanks for sharing, AZN. I have been tempted to stop and take pics of some of the customized Benzes over here, but am a bit worried about owners getting pissed off. The Japanese are very sensitive about privacy. Maybe I'll try to be a little bit bolder. (It doesn't help that I'm a 5' 11" blonde white guy--I stand out in a crowd.)

That e90 front end in laughable! doesn't flow with the car at at. but since you mentioned BMW, I'm thinking of leaving Merc for the new 2011 335is... what a sexy car, M3 rip off but still a sexy car....

I'm considering an E92 335i as well to replace my second car. Amazing how much power that whip can put down with just a chip.
