Wald C-class

Really thought this car was interesting and wanted to share. I like it. The front is a little busy but still nice. The wheels are smoking. The side skirts are nice. Nice car. Nice house too.

Wheels to big for the car, another guy that can say "I have 20s" or "I have 21s" for all the wrong reasons.
Otherwise, Wald makes great stuff and this looks great. Lovely house!

I think there are too many body lines and curves that make the car....uhh...RICEY?
Nice wheels, but just like others mentioned.....those are too big for the C-Class.

IMO the wheels are not too big at all. I don't like the wheel he went with but the size is just right to me. Overall I like the car.

I agree that I like the wheels, just not really on that car, still looks nice tho.

Although it seems like the sideskirts really dont flow a whole lot with the lines of the car.

I think he just replaced his headlights with aftermarket, I dont think he actually did a retrofit, but I agree they look nice. so do his LED tails.

pretty nice car overall, I think those wheels would look nicer on my GS tho

Just looked at some more of the pics (didn't notice link first time around)... those skirts look too bolted-on, if that makes sense.

By no means am I an expert when it comes to these types of cars, but when I remember seeing other Wald kits aren't they entire bumper replacements?

In fact, they don't look 100% color matched either... this could be the result of a two-guys garage episode. "All you need is some 3M double sided tape...."

When I look at a car I imagine what it would look like with minor improvements and if I could live with it until the improvements are made. This car fits that. I could definitely live with it. The wheels, not a perfect choice but that's one of the reasons I like them. They are outside the box but still look nice. They are big but the stepped lip keeps them from overpowering the car. Mostly, this is a c-class. I don't see many with a lot of work done. I happen to really like the design of the c-class, it's one of my favorite cars. They look extremely nice stock but more so modded.

I'll be the in the minority here, but totally not feelin' it. Waaaaay too many lines going on, especially at the skirt level. Very, very busy.

As Max said, the kit looks bolted on. Maybe some improvement potential is there if it were molded, but I still think the lines of the kit do nothing to compliment the lines of the car.

Not warming up to this ;has too much of a tacked on look. The side skirts do not appear to flow into the door panels. The front lip really sticks out and gives a glued on appearance. I do like the wheels and car, just not that kit.
