	Finanlly got a few more pics, dubious quality as taken with my phone, but you get the idea! On the cards is a 45mm drop as she's looking a bit like a startled rabbit at the min Hmmmm plastic-leather stuff (rummoured to cost more to produce than real leather)

	Nice work! I'll have to get some pics of my daily driver 190e on. Probably after hitting it with the stick first tho. After owning a 190 sportline and a C200 sport it feels like it's on stilts!

	Nice, I had one of these and thought I was the nuts. At the risk of going barry boys on it you might think about clear indys to clean up the lines?

	I reckon clears would look well and wouldn't make it barry?

	Well I had clears on mine and liked them but they can look a bit 'me too' on some cars.

	I do like 190s - fond memories of mine (well apart from the bills!!). 99K is just about run-in for a Merc of that era (true quality - not like some of their modern stuff). Clear indicators would suit the car, not barry at all. Just a subtle mod.

	Nice and seems quite tidy. It would last forever...Baby Benz W201 has quality to match!

	I think the clears definately suit them more, especially on dark coloured ones. Nice car that, is the 190E forum still going? Haven't been on in ages and need to re-feel the love and it might kick my sorry ass into shape to get mine back on the road.

	Cheers, time to log in again methinks, been a long while now. Really not a fan of kitted ones though, they just don't look right to me.

	Just fitted clear flashers and side reps on mine. Definite improvement.

	Massively underated motors. That looks particularly nice in the pics - & MBTex will be spick and span when leather has long since creased and torn.
