How many versions of Wald Bodykits are there for the 1st Generation W210's?
Been checking Wald kits ever since I had my car and been wanting to ask this. I seem to have found at least three different versions of kits for the pre-00 W210's - does anyone have any idea? Doc, Alex?
Version 1 (N.B. this is just a front lip on the stock front bumper):
Version 2 - Yo Doc! Ur clear fogs shure look muuuuch better
N.B. the bottom edges flare out more to the side than V1 & V3 and front is more squared:
Version 3? (the only one available on the current Wald site)
N.B. it looks like the V1, with rounder corners and underside and no flares on the side but with a MY00+type vent (which Wald sells), replacing the flat stock vent in the middle of the front bumber. Skirts and everything else looks exactly like the V1, is it?:
Were there 3 or 2 versions?

The first one is known as the V1 which is just an add-on lip for the front bumper (it seems) and the basic shapes looks just like the silver one which is currently listed at Wald, except the front vent (which is sold separately to replace the old flat vents to the MY00+ style ones - as I've previously mentioned for those who wanted to update their front bumper). I think the silver one is also known as the "executive line"...but dunno, which is obviously different to the Doc's widea$$ V2.

The is the one in Japan: http://www.wald-japan.co.jp/wald/catalog.htmlSeems the current "V3" is just the V1 with a "bumper duct" according to the US site....so I was right

IMO, the V1 and 3 would match the smoother base of the Carlsson front bumper better (becuz the V2's has a wider base). However, as an option to consider if you decide to get Doc's, the base of the V2 rear bumper should match the MY00+ AMG side skirt's contours quite well, which in turn doesn't look too out of place with the Carlsson front bumper (just look at Alex's ride).

HUBERT: This might work
AMG sides and Wald V2 rear bumper, if you don't mind a mixed kit:
