vanakin,

I suppose anything is possible. The 190E 2.3-16 has a self levelling system on the rear of the car. I would not consider that practical to back fit to a car that had no provisions for the hydraulic system required. As for the Sport Line stuff, I imagine most of that is just a bolt up item. I would either call Phil at Partsshop, or see a dealer for what is involved and what it costs. Won't be cheap though.

If you have the grille grit blasted and powder coated, it should last quite a while and be under a hundred or so dollars. It will chip though, as the road debris is like bullets hitting the front of the car and that starts to look tacky. But once it has been powder coated it can be grit blasted and recoated for generally less money. Good luck, Jim
