Here's a photo of the 190 I sold. I really miss it, especially since gas prices have gotten worse. I also realize that I will be roasted for my chrome fender flares.

Bought the car for about 3,700, straight German import Grey Market Vehicle.

Here are a couple decent shots, maybe more in the future.

When I first bought it.



What a real drop should look like.


Clifford key pad start teamed with LoJack, Hah good luck taking my car.


Gangster Interior


Before and after engine bay shots. (still not 100%)



Upgraded steering wheel and CF glove box lid.






Upgraded grille, pix next to a 2.6 S-Line 5 speed

die hard smoker, 12 degrees outside window down the whole time.






Next to my 2.6 better shot of grille



Money Shot


So there you have it, discuss.

190E 1.8
heres mine

1991 Mercedes 190E

First, lets look at what it was like when I got it -



Then I took it into the garage, fixed the small bits of surface rust and sprayed over it and got the buffer out and gave it a good buffing to bring it back to its original colour, lets take a look at the difference it made

Before -



After -



Half and Half -



Then it was time to polish it up -



Now that all that was done, it was time to get a Rear Spoiler on it, I went for the Mercedes Cosworth Spoiler, as you can see, it makes a real BIG difference in looks

No Spoiler -



Spoiler -



All polished up with custom exhaust system and new wheels (Its VERY loud all silencers + Cat removed) but imagine the car about 3 - 4 inches lower as the suspension hasnt settled -

Thanks The alloys are Team Dynamic Mirage if anyone wanted to know

Oh yea the exhaust is big (something like 6" exit) but when you see the car in real life it suites it I think, makes it look like a rally car hehe

one more thing, the front bonnet badge is missing now as some B***ard snapped it off!!!!
