I love offset.

That, to me, is the finest looking 190 I have ever seen its just perfect! I really like that subtle lip on the bootlid too. Wonder how its done?

Member Posts: 50 Group: Members Member #77 Joined: November 23, 2005	I can get one shipped to my door for 1300$ US (only the body kit, but mind you the kit is painted black w/ clear on it already, so if you had a 040 painted w201 you would merely need to bolt it on) Oh and those rims as Roj has stated are Wald Duchatelet ... if you want confirmation of it, go check out ramil's white 190e Wald... he has the exact same setup minus the exhaust (he has a remus or lorinser exhaust on there now) ... ramils rims are 18" and staggered... i believe 8" up front and 8.5" in the rear... but it could be 7.5" up front and 8" in the rear, i forget

Member Posts: 390 Group: Members Member #13 Joined: November 7, 2005	///AMG , if you really want one of the Wald kits here's what to do- have a look in your local autotrader and find a local garage/dealer who imports Japanese cars. There are loads of places in the UK that import Subarus, Hondas, Mitsubishis etc. Speak to the proprietor and find out if they're sound, legit, easy to talk to. Ask if its possible for them to order a Wald kit from their contact in Japan, or when they're next over there and then shiop it out in one of their containers when they next bring a load of cars over. The price in Japan will be ��s less than even in America and seeing as the company will already be bringing containers of cars over they shouldn't charge much for a corner of space and a small handling fee. 84000 yen for the C-Class kit is around �400 at the mo. ( www.wald.co.jp don't seem to list the w201 any more), so add a little shipping and you've saved a fortune. Hell, I might go and do it, though I'm not such a big fan of the w201 kit...
