Finally, I'm ready to paint my 190e. Been working on it since I bought it in September... had it down to the metal.

Has anyone tried to retrofit the lower body cladding from a 1989-1993 w201 (190) to a 1988 or earlier w201? Is this a difficult procedure?

I'll bet it will work, as the E class has all the holes you need already. Only problem would be is if you have to buy all the cladding new,,,, $$$$$$:eek:

Added some updates. Finished painting, wetsanding, and buffing. Also tossed on some 400E brakes.

So I started with this:
