WALD Black Bison W212

Looks like WALD has some computer graphic images of it's new kit for the W212. Rear end looks ISF-ish, but takes away the rectangular shaped trunk lines...might just work.

Not big on the kit and the rear bumper and tips are definitely IS-F rips, but man that's the way the rear/deck lid should have looked from the factory. That really fixes the OG's bland and square/sloping look, makes it look much much nicer. Maybe for the face-lift M-B will take notes.

The rear bumper is definitely inspired by F430. And the double stack spring roll exhaust are from IS-F---well this one is less ugly though.

I kinda like the CSL style trunk though

I like the rear look except the stacked exhaust tips and the auxillary red markers on the diffuser...

If I were to get that bodykit...I would change exhaust tips and then black out the red lens.

The stacked tips and the diffuser have to go. And the reflectors, too. But the rear deck and trunk lid make those big rear lights look much better. Darker colors help on the W212, too, imho.

Maybe MB will go with a W212 butt-lift instead of the usual facelift when the time comes

Am I the only one who thinks those front dual fogs look like gun barrels or some sort of 1950s radar prop for an alien space film? Fugly.

If I had a W212, first thing I'd do is buy that CSL decklid as I'd actually be able to stand looking at the a$$ of my car. I'd probably try smoking the rear lights too, to see if it adds any presence to the rear as well. I'd actually be curious to see how the lid looks with the standard AMG Kit.

haha, look how similar it is to the wald ISF kit, looks like they just cut it up to fit it on the E, they should have put a bit more effort into the design to make it more unique. I do like the front though.

I like their kit for the 212. Definitely makes the rear-end look much nicer. Props to them.

Hey guys,

my buddies over at WALD USA are looking for a W212 E550 or E350 demo vehicle for SEMA.

they're looking to hook an individual owner on a super deep discount on the first full build Black Bison E Class. Includes a front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, exhaust tips, roof wing, trunk wing, 20" WALD M11C wheels and Pirelli tires.

In exchange, the vehicle will be on display in their booth during Nov 2-6.

Those interested... please contact them at www.waldusa.com 650 343 2953.

Holy crap, 1st off I hate all kits and never liked one I ever saw but damn finally, this rear end is great. Just get rid of the double stacked exhaust tips and 2 eflectors. As far as the diffuser (not sure what that is...sorry for the lack of car knowledge here) is that what the red reflectors are sitting in?

One thing I do not like about the look of the Bmw CSL trunp lip that ir really stuck out like a damn fin on a shark, any idea how high this thing will be sticking up compared to the CSL? Looking for one with a little less dramatic.

Ooh, that rear looks hideous in the real life pic. The boot doesn't look nearly as clean and properly executed as the promo pic (which sucks as that looked like the most proper band-aid for the 212's rear end so far), it just looks wrongly proportioned, and the rear bumper is a huge cheesy mess.

The front bumper and treatment from that angle looks good though.
