I started off with a stock standard 1991 Mercedes 190E 2.3L. I purchased the car about 5 years ago, like so

Last year after replacing the gearbox, I decided the car needed a bit of a make over.

Not sure why the box blew???

I sanded the car back, shaved the aerial and made it straight. Then I primed the whole car and shot 3 coats of 2 pac Jet Black followed by 3 coats of clear. At the same time I smoked my front corners and rear tail lights, also I fitted some King springs superlow springs.

Next it needed some wheels. I purchased a set of new 17 x 8" rims and tyres.

I have since replaced the smoked corners with clears and have removed the smoked tail lights (the law didn't like them). I have also tinted the windows with 35%

I have just fitted a custom made 2 1/2" exhaust with hidden tail pipe as fitted factory.

Next to come is some red tail lights, a custom made turbo kit featuring a Garrett T26, turbo link and external wastegate.

I have future plans to shave the doors and boot.

Hey man awesome car you have made it just right, some 190Es on here look overdone and tacky but you got it just right. Love the new E class rims. Just wondering about the king springs, cant find them here for the 190E would you be able to tell me a part number? Thanks Regards Daniel

are they made by a certain company? because when i went to their website, they have wheel manufacturers like konig, enkei, advanti etc.

i must commend u on the great job u did with ur car. my 190E looks like the first pictures u have on there. My final result, would most preferably be what u have as the end result. I am obsessed with those rims. is there any way you could give me the model number, or something, so i can purchase them quickly? thanks in advance
