The W205 C-Class is, for lack of a better word, the cheapest Mercedes-Benz model that's also aspirational. You can pick up a used one for VW Golf money and turn at least a couple of heads, which is usually not the case with the old compacts (A-Class and CLA).
That means it's ideally suited to tuning. We're not talking about classy and expensive stuff like Brabus makes, but ordering parts online, probably from China, and pretending your C 200 has a V8, like that green velvet-wrapped car we spotted in Turkey recently.
The tuning project proposed by Japanese company Wald International is something like that, mainly because if their choice of grille: the Panamericana style that used to be specific to the most hardcore AMG models. But if you think about it, Wald always liked making pretend sports cars, as many of their works had AMG or M-style exhausts.They also did the same thing to the GLC, at least in the grille department.
We don't even know if the grille is made by them. There's a bunch of these things on Ali Express, shipping for as little as $60. For that kind of money, Mercedes will probably sell you a bolt or a keychain.
The OEM+ style is done with a new insert that goes over the bottom of the front bumper and makes the C-Class look butch. The side skirts have also been enhanced, as is the rear bumper with the help of a large carbon-look diffuser. Wald proposes two styles of quad exhaust pipes, as well as an F1-style brake light mounted in the middle of the bumper.
For this demo car, the Japanese tuner also lowered the suspension and tested its I11-C and K11-C wheel designs measuring 8.5x20 inches. We think the orange wrap is hot as well, but we wouldn't be surprised if it's too much for some.
