Here's a pic of the front of my 190.
The euro lights are nice, but I prefer the blacked out grill and surround.

I like my 190, and I expect the cars to become a classic collectors item, with a sharp increase in cash value shortly.

The European lights are the way to go. It actaully makes the car look like the European version.
Personally never cared for that grill, the big star looks a little out of place on that car and W126 sedans (unless they get the whole 560SEC front end and hood.)
And the blacked-out grill looks good on a BLACK car, but looks odd ball on most other colors.

I was going to get the clear corners to go with the European lights, but I don't know. Everyone and their momma have clear corners now. It's not even really a custom item anymore. I think it's rarer to see a Benz with the original corner lamps than the clear ones. But then again, I might go ahead and do it due to the fact clear corners with the Euro will definately compliment the Anthracite Grey Metallic paint, with the stock chrome grill.

But as they say, do what you wanna do. It's your car, your custom job, so do what makes you feel good, not only what makes everyone else feels good. Because they didn't put a dime into the car.

I think you should remove the hood star. I never liked the "double star" look.

The pix are nice but I think your car would look even better if you tried the components from other models such as BMW parts or Ford parts. I've done a little experiment for my MB by using other components. The result is great! Now I get compliments I never heard before.
