Default 2008 WALD International Mercedes-Benz CL-Class W216.
















Mercedes-Benz CL last generation finally arrived in the "Country of the rising sun". Japanese tuning company Wald International has released images of its newest creation based on the W216 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class luxury coupe. As you can see, the tuning program is all about black. The full bodykit consists of front and rear spoilers, side skirts, a rear diffuser, roof and truck spoilers, new fog lights, air vents on the hood and behind the front wheel arches and, new exhaust pipes. The aero kit is complemented by mat black alloy wheels.

WALD just has this obsession with vents which is okay on some cars, but luxury saloons like the CL, S, LS, etc end up looking foolish and over done with extra vents and openings.

Is that a break light in between the tail pipes?

Although overdone, for some reason, I like it.

Maybe it's just because, with or without the kit, it's the CL-Class...

I agree, it's overdone. I'd rather have something from Carlsson.

The more I see the CL on the road, the more I think it's front end looks blah, & I don't particularly like this WALD kit neither.
