Another 16v bodykit question
Hi Everyone......I am looking to buy a 16v bodykit for my 190e 2.3. My question is that my car is a grey market car shipped from Germany and I want to know if the Original 16v bodykit from an American made Mercedes will fit my German made Mercedes. Thanks everyone.

Due to the complexity of the molding, in color, technology at the time, the North American 2.3-16 used the same bodykit as the European version. The front bumper shells on the North American cars have the licence cut out for the European plates. As with any non-16 valve car, you're going to have to drill holes in the wheel wells to mount the flares and add some holes in the rear quarter panel to mount the rear skirt.
