okay guys, i recently purchased an 87 190e 2.3 with a 5 speed manual transmission, got an AMAZING deal on it. everything runs well, it just needs new paint and the spoiler put on. but im looking for possibly a bumper kit or a lower bumper. any recommendations on where/how much i should spend on it? if you check my profile, i have a few pictures of the car, pretty bad quality, taken on a cell phone. i'll upload more if anyone requests. thanks!

there are two types of 190E owners, ones that just fix whatever needs to be fixed properly so the car will go forever, and those who either find way around fixing things, dont fix things or dont fix things properly

I only paid $500 for my 85' winter beater and Im not even planning on keeping it more than a year, but I have already put about $200 in new parts on it from things that have obviously been neglected by P.O.s

these cars are too cheap and easy to fix to neglect. I don't know how some people do it.

just my $.02 but I love my cars.
