Hello everyone,
I've just bought a peach of a w202. It's a very early 1993 looking the bop of my old 190e inside. She had two eldery owners and has a DVLA confirmed 54k on the clock with full main dealer history. 4x electric windows, working Aircon, wood over black interior with a working sunroof and even a dehumidifier function. All this for under £1900! Now she is a C180 so I won't be winning any races nor do I really want to. What I'm after is the look, I'm thinking very gentle tints, some 16" period specific alloys, us spec front indicators, yellow driving lights, a nice zebrano wood steering wheel and maybe in due time a 30/30 H&R/Bilstein lowering kit. My question to you lot is; what else?! Any suggestions? Is a strut brace worth the £100? Are xenon lights worth the £450? Talk to me wheels, would love some Zender Sports or a set of Borbet A' but they are a bit on the pricey side.. perhaps a set of Borbet BS5' would look good? Am I missing anything?
All the best, Mike.
