w124 1990 body kit for 89 model

Just wondering if any one out there can help? I am currently looking to purchase a wald body kit that is made for the 1990 and onward w124, the problem is my car is the 89 model. I know that the 90 model recieved some exterior mods like the protective side panels but i see no mention of a change to the front or rear bumpers, and so hope that the kit will fit. If anyone out there knows if there was a change or they themselves have attached the kit, any advice will be greatly appreciated. The kit i am looking at is the W124 E EX LINE

it should fit fine for the front and rear bumpers-the side skirts probably wont look right without the side mouldings to match.

Have you seen the demec kit? IMO its the best looking, makes the benz look more aggressive but still benzy.
My Old Thread, demec kit is pictured
But congrats on the WALD! What are you getting? the V4 or the grosser? Show pics!

I think that Demec Kit looks aggressive! But the thing is only if i had a fast w124 i would use that kit instead of the Wald. It looks more aggressive on the streets with a sleeper w124 , specially if it has a C36 or the V12 motor

I know! I love the lines and the fogs on the demec... It just looks like RAWR ANGRY BENZ . The wald looks beautiful, but ti doesnt feel benzy. For whatever reason, the Demec kit feels really benzy. If I ever get money to spare, I will order it. Right now, my primary concern is building myself a computer. (i know) and some light cosmetic upgrades (headlights/tails).

Soo... I might have sourced a Brabus body kit two days ago when I randomly bumped into a guy with a white W124 with the kit on the way home. He told me he might consider selling it to me. Or just sell me his car for 3K. LOL!

luuucky... Buy the whole thing for 3k! Why not? You could have two white road-warriors! Trick one out and keep the other for donor parts when your primary gets sick

It's cool - subtle. They don't have it on their website, is it out of production?
