I didn't mean to leave anyone out...just wanted to see some nice W201's....I originally had in mind for all W201 owners to post their car on here but my wording said different...my bad. Sorry about that guys.

Now to set things straight...ehhmmm:

Lets see some pictures of your beloved W201's!

Thanks for the compliment, DarkCreep! I spent a lot of time and elbow grease on the engine. I dressed it up because I show the car, and other entrants used the colored wire looms.

Currently running 15's now with 205/55's front and 225/50's rear. But, I'm looking to upgrade to 17's - just haven't found the right look yet!

I think the wheels suit just fine. They look in proportion and, of course, the great advantages of smaller wheels are that they don't curb so easily (deeper tyres) and the ride is much better. Could eat off the engine!

Nice car. Like the modifications done to it man!

Just get rid of the Sportline emblems ASAP.

Aww shaved 2.6 emblems that sucks! There arent many 2.6's on the road.. See if you can get another one.

those are some nice interior mods. Tell me, did you do the shift knob and cubby hole yourself, or was it already like that when you bought it? I would like to do this to mine, just wasnt sure if I would have to take it to an interior shop or if it was a DIY project.

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.
Im doing a brake job pretty soon. When i take my pads off ill let you know what kind are on there. My car stops VERY well.
