I can only envy you guys from the other side of the pond...:p

My car has:

-Sportline suspension & badges
-Electric front windows + manual rear windows
-Electric sunroof
-Electric rear sunshade
-Sports seats w. mechanical adjustment & front/rear armrests
-Mechanical left mirror + electric right mirror
-Becker Europa radio cassette player + automatic antenna
-Metallic paint
-Alloy wheels

What I lack:

-A/C
-leather seats (and the fabric is pretty worn after 14 years)

What I had found in the boneyard were a set of leather seats from an E320(worn, but still serviceable), a radiator grille in the same style as a 190(no chrome strips and a large logo) and a different style of wheels. I didn't buy them just thought to ask first.

There is also a wide type of front grille, similat to that of a 560SEC, on which version of W124 does it fit?

The power figure I found for the 2.6 litre is 170hp/125kW for noncatalyst models(before 1986) and 160bhp/118kW for post-1986(with catalyst), yet on my registration card appears 125kW, and I'm almost sure I have a catalyst just thought to ask more knowledgeable people... is it possible the Sportlines had also a tuned engine?

~Thank you
