hi guys! ive been a 190e owner for 4 years now but its only now that i have really appreciated the beauty of the car. mine is just a standard 190e. but now i am dreaming of modifications and upgrades. from repainting to body kits ,ICE to engine swaps.its my first car and it has sentimental value to me. so id rather modify and upgrade than buy a new car. one of the things im really interested about is engine swaps. what does it involve? how much does it usually cost? other things to think about like, V5, insurance etc... i have read a lot of the forums and i know a lot of you guys have done it already. and im sure this is the right place to ask about 190. thank you very much and im looking forward to being with my 190 for more years to come!!!! |

Interesting to see that you are thinking of modifications. I am from the other school of thought. I have been doing stuff to mine to get it back to original so that its exactly as it came out of the showroom. Good luck with your mods though. |

Hello and welcome
I, like MadMike am on a standard quest with mine. The only upgrades i have done is to fit leather ans a set of sportline alloys, both of which were factory options at the time so i dont see it as modding. My last 190 however was modded lots, with 16v kit added among other things. But when i picked this latest car up it was so unmoleseted and standard i thought it would be sacralidge to mod and change it to much. Anyway, i look forward to seeing the pics of the car mate. stu |
