Dumb questions from a first time 190E owner
Hey everyone,
Just joined the forum recently and decided that this is the perfect time to post dumb questions regarding my 190e:
1. Exterior roof trim/window trim: is there a place to get replacements? Can I still get these pieces from a dealer/or shop?
2. Regarding lowering springs...is there any specific springs that work for the 190e 2.3 8v? I saw a few springs options but they seem to be for the 23-16 or the larger displacement....Also, I heard it's common for folks to cut their springs are cutdown 300e springs to get rid of wheel gap.
Please be gentle.

Just don't forget that if you cut a coil off a spring, it will not only be lower, but also stiffer. (Fewer coils to be bent on compression.)

You can check a yard in your area
occasionally 190s are brought in
great for getting little parts in better condition than your own. Recently got a great “new” armrest
