Leeds?
Was just curious.
Looks around £50-£150 a bumper from a quick scan.

At work, skiving
Yeah parts prices aren't bad really. Cossie kits are dear though, seen one for 600 quid...

Seen a cossie merc near me for sale..lots of 0's after the figure but it is mint !!
Similar to this one but it's a real evo II

RE: Mercedes 190E - THE_Liam - 29-03-2014
They really are outstanding to drive, mine really doesn't have the power to exploit the chassis but with 185bhp, a ZF dogleg box and uprated suspension they honestly are brilliant. Maybe not quite as sharp as an M3 or Sierra Cosworth but way more refined and smooth, and a shitload cheaper than either.
Mercedes 190E - devils_fuel - 29-03-2014
I saw a saphire cossie the other day, first one I've seen for years..never see them anymore
Never driven a 190, are they fun
RE: Mercedes 190E - THE_Liam - 29-03-2014
That's because all old Fords die of rust
190 Cosworths are great fun, mine is more relaxing than fun. With enough power you realise how good a chassis these have, every bit as good as an E30 with the exception of the steering, which is too slow and light.

Few clean pics with the 306 as it goes off with Jonny...

Did you shed a tear?
RE: Mercedes 190E - Niall - 30-03-2014
Did Jonny bring his booster seat or did you lend him your Yellow Pages?
RE: Mercedes 190E - Grant - 30-03-2014
Merc looks badass mate.
Still think it would look good with some arch extensions, poke and purple shag-pile roof lining

No, but I'll bloody miss that car. Honestly the best car I've ever had

Luckily I'd already modded the seat for my 5 foot tall missus, so Jonny fit fine

Poke may happen, the rest won't

Love this but the eBay special stickers ruin it, they're tragic..

Not a clue at the moment mate. Always fancied an MX5 but I'd keep the Benz if I got one.

Have you still got your merc ?
RE: Mercedes 190E - THE_Liam - 30-03-2014
Yeah, just sold Jonny the 306 mate.
Mercedes 190E - devils_fuel - 30-03-2014
Ah ha
RE: Mercedes 190E - THE_Liam - 06-04-2014
So, after a bit of Forte injector cleaner, new leads, clean plugs and ICV, I have just achieved TWENTY FIVE MILES PER GALLON!!!
It's like driving a Prius

This is sooo tempting as an engine donor...

go for it, as you have everything you need!
RE: Mercedes 190E - THE_Liam - 07-04-2014
That's what I'm thinking. I'd need an auto pedal box and shifter from a 190 but there are plenty of breakers, and there are more autos than manuals around.
I should have bought an auto in retrospect.
Mercedes 190E - devils_fuel - 07-04-2014
Local to me
. Let me know Liam
RE: Mercedes 190E - THE_Liam - 07-04-2014
Will do pal. If I could sort out somewhere to keep it would you be able to have a look for some beer tokens? Literally just to check the engine and box?
RE: Mercedes 190E - Danny2009 - 07-04-2014
I've emptied the drive if you need some space..
Mercedes 190E - devils_fuel - 07-04-2014
Oh f*ck shit bollox, I've just realised I don't have a bloody car and that's quite far away !
Sorry mate I can't help
Re: Mercedes 190E - THE_Liam - 07-04-2014
No problem mate.
Few pics from Retro Rides tonight:

RE: Mercedes 190E - Kezzieboy - 08-04-2014
I thought I'd already commented on this, but I f*cking love this thing, old mercs keep popping up when I'm looking at potential next cars/second cars/project cars. So badass!
