- 1993 Mercedes 190e LE
Hi guys, been a member on the mercedes-190 forum since owning the car and never posted the thread on here so i thought i'd show you my pride and joy. A few of you may have seen photos from my brothers W203 C320 thread.
It's a 1993 190e LE 1.8 with just 3 owners and only 86k on the clock, and has been a complete joy to own for just over a year now, constantly turns heads and drives better than most modern cars on the road! Mechanically its been pretty solid, with only slight issues that i've managed to sort out before they develop.
It's just one of those cars that i knew i'd become attached too from the minute i bought it, and being 18 i'm going to do all i can to keep hold of it and keep it running as good as it is at the moment.
In terms of mods, over the year i've fitted 40mm lowering springs, New front & rear shocks, Clear indicators, Genuine EVO1 16" Wheels, new Wishbones and Exhaust. Not really a great deal i want to do with it, i recently bought a set of Jaguar XJ dimples that i may fit onto the car, but for now i'm just enjoying every minute of owning such a tank.
Still a few things to sort out, tow eye cover, small dent in front wing, new sound system and eventually refurbing the EVOs.
Thanks for reading and any comments / ideas let me know!

Shot of the potential new wheels, still in two minds about them..
