My Mercedes-Benz 190E

Adunaphel · September 15th, 2007, 06:43 PM

It's been mentioned a few times, and i've posted a pic of how it looked in my dad's garage, but here it is in al it's glory. Since i got it, the only things i did to it were mount a decent (albeit a bit modern in comparison with the rest of the car) car stereo, mount the holder for my phone/satnav and change the turn indicators to white ones.

It's a hoot to drive. It's the 2.0l petrol one, with 118hp, drving the rear wheels through a 4 speed manual gearbox. I am loving every minute of it images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

FIRST! Told you, white indicators are better images/smilies/biggrin.gif

And as you are dutch, the trailer hitch has to be there, right? images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It would look great if the bumpers were the same color as the car.

Adunaphel · September 15th, 2007, 07:54 PM

You mean the black bits or the light grey bits?

teletubby-warrior · September 15th, 2007, 08:31 PM

Looks great! images/smilies/wink.gif

GraemeH · September 15th, 2007, 08:34 PM

I really like 190e's. I've been planning on making my next car one for a while. Came so close to picking one up on a couple of occasions.

Any warnings or cautionary notes for potential buyers? images/smilies/smile.gif

MXM · September 15th, 2007, 08:45 PM

It looks fantastic. Don't listen to the certain individual on irc, I'd take it every time over a carisma with funky interior images/smilies/tongue.gif

I bet it's nicer to drive too, thanks to Right Wheel Drive among other things images/smilies/smile.gif

The black bits. I haven't seen too many 190E's, but the ones I've seen have all been black so the bumpers don't look out of place.

Shawn · September 15th, 2007, 10:28 PM

The 190 looks so fantastic... I love it. Not a big fan of the alloys you have... or are they hubcaps? I'd get a nicer set of MB ones.

P.S. I see the Merc logo in your steering wheel is no longer straight... I've seen that happen before. images/smilies/tongue.gif

watto · September 15th, 2007, 11:21 PM

Very clean, very nice. Enjoy it, Adu!!

mautzel · September 16th, 2007, 12:10 AM

Congrats to your new car, looks nice and in decent condition though I've never ever seen those kind of wheels on a 190 before.

SL65 · September 16th, 2007, 12:14 AM

My family had one of those. It saved my life when I was 4 and is the reason I started my passion with cars images/smilies/smile.gif

Enjoy!

Archie · September 16th, 2007, 12:37 AM

Looks very good. Nice alloys too.

JCE · September 16th, 2007, 12:49 AM

The 190E is definately on of my favorite all time Mercs. And yours is great, I love the two-tone white and grey. Now get rid of that black bumper and get some clear signals and you'll be pimp.

Silverstar · September 16th, 2007, 03:59 AM

Very clean car, it would be hard pressed to find any MB around here in such a good condition!

m102486 · September 16th, 2007, 05:12 AM

its on my top 20 cars images/smilies/lol.gif
