Chuni,
What size are your Monoblocks (looks like 18's) and what suspension do you have? That black looks so good on that car. Nice ride.

oh- and do you have a write-up about the install? one of my biggest gripes with my 190 is the ****ty braking power.
i'm used to the heavy duty brakes from the bmw's, and i feel like i have to really mash the pedal and still think twice about if i'm stopping soon enough.

190E
Not many mods but I do need some help from you guys. Im looking for some parts.
-Black housings
-New grill
-Trunk Lip
-Sportline emblem
Anyone know where I can get these?
The front of the car.
The doors.
Side view of paint job after Clay/Polish/Wax
Interior, Tan leather with dual power seats.
Dash, real wood.
Chrome ****ed up 15"s.
Two Point Six Liter for the win!
Cheap shot of the gauges (MPH, Temp, Oil Pressure, RPMs, Clock, Fuel).
4 Speed Automatic.
Not many mods like some of you here but I did tint the windows. Thats about it.
You guys have some really clean looking cars though!

I probably ownd both when they came out and was doing 30/40k miles per year and changing two yearly. The 300E photo you show looks just like an E class to me. Can you explain the history and difference a bit. Glorious cars, love the pics. keep 'em coming.

Looks like an E class of the time to my eye. Hence my confusion.
