230 e class 1989 model
Smile newb with a few questions

first of all hi everyone!
ive recently bought a 1989 charcoal grey 230 auto coupe and its in need of abit of work, but as im capable of doing this myself, so as labour isent a problem i have some money left over so would like to modify it.

ive searched quite abit but havent come across any form of modification that you can actually do to these. yes i am new to this (not cars as i have a 1967 mini and a VW) so any obvious answers i have no idea about.

so my questions for you are: what can i do to the car in the form of OEM upgrades or modifications or cheap aftermarket parts?

i have a set of wheels i would like to put on it and these were on my polo (with hub adapters):

all i no is they are mrec rims in 6x15 the model in which they came of im not 100% but i was wondering if they woudl fit the coupe ok? iw as planning on running 195/45's on these wil these be ok?
they arent very wide so i cant personally see them being too much of a problem but would prefer to have some advice before i fit them.
