Don't worry, I still have 3 other driving Mercedes diesels besides the 190D and the 190D will still be driven around town to keep it from sitting while I search for a shell to use.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Only picture I have right now but I shall get more when I am back in Georgia on Friday.
The grill shell and insert have been painted and has the extra slats band I think it looks pretty good. Those headlight gotta go, putting in my recently acquired Hella euros. It has a pretty high quality tint installed.

Oh heck, I was hoping for a W24...... 540K maybe. Of course the straight 8 ruled that out.

That's a nice car. Isn't that the one that was for sale in the mercedes cars for sale forum? I think it was in California.

There was one on CL here in Atlanta over the past month and it is no longer listed.

The straight 6 ruled it out... the 540k had a straight 8 ... looks like from your name you are obsessed with 8 cylinders....

Nice car! Looks like my franken-car 1993 190d 2.2. I have the same wheels and body color combo...just no blacked grille or tint. I do have euro headlights though.
