Nothing major but here are a few of the changes that made a huge difference in appearance…

AMG rims - 17x7.5 front and 17x8.5 rear
Kumho ECSTA ASX tires - 225/45R17 front and 245/40R17 rear
Euro style headlights
Sportline coil springs
Front spring pads from 4 bumps down to 1 bump

'87 300E
1987 300E cont.

Struts were shot, replacing with Bilstein comfort fixed the problem but it actually raised the front end by about 1/2". Once I installed the shorter sportline coil springs and replaced the front spring pads with 1 bump (original was 4 bumps), the suspension is much more to my liking...

Oh yes, I also had to roll the fenders.
