Actually, the one in the other thread is different. I think they were photographed in the same place and they are the same color/similar plate, etc.
I figured it out because the wheels are different.
Sorry

Dude! i was just in thailand a few months ago. Let me tell you! I seen some magazine over there and they have some crazy *** bodykits. But yeah i seen a few kit for the W124 but i was never interested in it because that was when i had an 96 Eclipse. But now i regret not buying the magazine when it was only $1.50 But they do have some nice *** bodykit kits for the w124. I think i might be going back next year. =p So untill then ill keep in mind on buying a magazine. OR i can call my cousin there who lives in Bangkok.

that car is sick!

As I was looking closely, he does have the Wald flat badge on the hood and the Wald wheels.

I still can't tell what that bumper is cause the car is black and the lighting. My only two guesses would be a full Brabus or Carlsson since Wald doesn't make a kit like that for the W124. There are only two kits for the W124 available from Wald. The V4 & EX. Pictures below.

Anyways, It's not even the AMG either. I'm really bother about what kit this is now. lol Now that I'm starting to look at it and I just pulled some Brabubs W124 pictures... It's definitely not a Brabus nor a AMG since the Gen2 kit looks like this...




What sources are you using to find those pictures? hook it up so I can do some digging of my own. lol

yeah, that's one of the problems with the WALD V4 front bumper, the bumper sits too low for daily driving.

Wow! So Intrax springs are the ones that i should be looking for then huh. Well im going to achieve the slammed w124 look. I loved my car being low. Take a look at how low my old car was. I did a 4.5" drop in the front and 4.25" in the rear with NO rub at all on all 4 tires. I was amazed.

Sigh i miss you baby!***

I want my W124 to be as low as how my Eclipse was to where my front tire was tucked under my fender.
