Hello,

I'm the proud recent owner of a white 2013 C350. It has the keyless-go and COMAND systems installed, plus a few more options.

I would like to set mine apart from the crowd a little bit, so I'm considering installing a Wald W204 kit (minus the spoiler), and painting it a flat black. The autobody shop wants a month to repaint the car, it sounds like they are going to paint the pieces individually. The build quality of the car is one of the reasons why I wanted to buy it, it's a little panzer. My first question is will the strip, paint, rebuild process necessarily degrade the build quality, or will a reputable shop be able to put it back together with near-factory precision?

Second - about the body kit, I saw another C350 with the same kit several months ago and I liked the look of it and took note (they had a Wald badge on the rear). Are there other body kits for the C350 that I should also be considering? I don't want anything too gaudy, I just want it to have a little more aggressive look. With the Wald kit, I like the quarter panel vents. I could do without the fog lights since I live in a city where there is never fog, but the Wald front and rear look nice as well.

Third - I plan on blacking out most of the existing chrome and switching the white with black, which includes the door handles. What do I need to be aware of there with regard to the keyless-go system? I want to keep all of the functionality I have there, where I can gently rub the various sensitive zones of the door handle to cause her to lock or unlock. This is important, this is our greeting and farewell.

Fourth - does anyone recommend a particular synthetic vagina that can be installed below the steering wheel of a C class? I'm asking this question for a friend who's definitely not me.

Thanks!

Is this a joke? Tell us more about this "friend" of yours.

JPc300

synthetic vagina....hahahahahahahaha this is just priceless!!!!!

DotV

Well, not all of it. I may have been drinking when I posted that last night, though.

Besides the joke part.

Does WALD even make a kit for the LCI c350? I don't think they do yet actually.

DotV

Is LCI the current generation? Does that have another meaning?

Andriy242

Yea LCI is the current gen 2012+ which is the facelift model.
From looking around looks like WALD only has kits for the 2008-2011 models.

This WALD kit



Will not work on this car.

Definitely go fleshlight.

DotV

Hmm. Sounds like Wald is slacking. I guess I'll need to keep looking around, I thought I saw they listed 2008-present somewhere. Does anyone know of any other kits that would fit the 2012+?

Haha, noted.

You don't want anything gaudy, yet you post one of the gaudiest kit ever.

DotV

The one that I saw didn't look very gaudy to me. What do you suggest?

I saw the Markuzzi kit here, not bad if you want an alternative.

I'm seeing conflicting reports. This site is listed as Wald's North American distributor, and they claim the W204 kit will fit on 2008 - present vehicles:

I'll send them an email and see what they say.

Andriy242

They say present because it probably hasn't been updated it.

Have a look for yourself.

Headlights are different, hood is different, rear bumper is different. etc etc etc.

You could probably get by with a partial kit (skirt, fender, front bumper) if you're set on Wald. It is by far the most aggressive kit out there for this car, so not sure if that's your definition of "little more aggressive look", but it's a case of personal aesthetics. To me, a little more aggressive would be the Vorsteiner kit for instance.

was the grill on the first pic photoshopped? or does it come with 1 horizontal fin instead of 3 and no star?

speedraider

I agree
