Ed,
Don't waste your money on a fake, the ones that are out there require too much work to make look right.
Try, http://www.memoryfab.com/products/aero/car43
Seems to be the most reasonable around.

Oh COME on...even the real ones are fibreglass and constantly require custom fitting.

RBYCC, you'd be foolish to pay top dollar for a product of NO better quality than the replica stuff. Fibreglass is fibreglass.

Mark, I've owned both a replica Wald V4, the real deal and an replica Amg first Gen kit. The replicas both required alterations to make them fit and look right. The real Wald kit was a matter of scuffing and spraying. Besides even buying the actual replicas is no saving.
Memory Fabs price on either w124 wald kit is $840 plus shipping from Japan.
Autorice on a fake is $1399
The last Autoblz I could find was $699
Hardly worth the grief.

I know the V4 is a FRP part...does it mount using the stock bumper mounting points?

Thanks

It mounts by the top and side lips of the front bumper, it's sturdy I've had it on my W124 with no problems. This is a replica bumper that I spent alot of time and money on. This bumper has been reinforced and re-smoothed for a perfect fit. Sorry no back bumper available yet maybe next month when I get around to taking it off.

Man, I'm starting to develop a w124 wagon fetish. Wagons are the least attractive 124's when they're stock. But when they're done right, I'm starting to think they look better than the coupes and sedans!
