Bodykit for R129
Does anyone has the WALD body kit on their R129? I found limited pic and info online, and just want to see owner's opinion before contacting the dealer. Price and quality?
How about Kleemann's kit? Or any place to get a good deal on the AMG kit?
Do you guys prefer your R129 stock look? I have the 2000 SL (non-AMG)

That's look like a AMG body kit (bumper and side skirt).
I don't seems to be able to find any pic because they are all into the new SL500, and i guess I have to call the dealer directly to see what the kit look like.
Your car do look really nice.

Thanks, you are right, they are different.
I am looking at all the options. I am not sure about the Brabus's kit, Correct me if I am wrong, they look like add on lower trim to your existing bumper, not to mention they are quite expensive (I looked at perforrmanceprod4benz site). But I do love the Brabus VI rims, those are real nice.
So I am not sure again, if I should mix and match. May be I will just forget about the kit, and just get the Brabus Rim and lower the car a bit.

Wow -- that black one is about the best looking kit I've seen. How much?
Before going with AMG . . . listen to this -- Somehow one of the little grill pieces and one of the little pieces from the front bodywork fell off (I don't know how). I priced them yesterday. The little black mesh grill about 6 inches by 6 inches: $75. The actual body piece: $300.

One will sure get lots of attention with that widebody kit.
Anyone has any idea how much the one piece Brabus VI rim cost?

I really like the silver one posted by SL Brabus. It looks clean and you can see the lines well.
I have a black 430, so hard to keep it spotless. With silver, I can get away driving it on a daily basis and have it wash on weekend. But if you can keep it clean, black can be stunning.

the wald kit is indeed siccening. I've been wanting to get that for my hooptie. I wanted the fake one, yeah fake, from that singapore seller, but I never read anything good about him, like someone actually recieving/ordering a kit. For the price he was offering them at, it was worth buying fakes.
