Wald body kit??

Hello,

Just curious what your thoughts were on the Wald body kits for the W220... http://www.jonari.com/brand.php?bid=...d=2&modelid=97

personally I like the Lorinser kit , vented fenders etc much better over WALD, it fits the curvaceous lines of the w220 better..

I think WALD is trying to hard to "update" the look of the w220 to the w221, Especially the rear diffuser looks like something a new SL550 or C63 would have....

I actually like this kit. I think the rear apron is a great solution for adding dual exhaust to the S. Plus, it has the modern F1 feel, of which I am a big fan. I can live with the front and sides, they probably look better in person.

MB Fahrer, have you obtained pricing on this kit? I'd be interested to know.

front looks good. Sides are junk. Rear is a bit sporty for an S, but not too bad.

Agreed, the side skirts really need to be swapped out for something slightly more subtle. But the front and back I'm a big fan of! Especially if you threw on some knock off Brabus LED running lights....
