Elbenzo // Bagged '92 190E Project

Please describe the installation step by step. Like some sort of How-To if you can?

I'll definitely give it a shot. I've done a few DIY's on the Subaru forum before. My natural knack for taking pictures of absolutely everything definitely helps out.

I'm honestly not sure. With my Subaru it's super super easy for me to choose wheels because I know what fits and what style works with the car since I've morphed in to exactly what I want. With this, it's hard. Not sure if I want to go with a newer design or go retro.

Whatever wheel I end up going with, it'll be something unique. Not to bash on any of the 190 builds I've seen but I've seen so much of the same. Doing the same shit over and over again is boring. Safe is boring. I'll probably be running a japanese wheel with some wobble bolts.

Yeah I know that, I was stoked on being the first one with a W201 on RF's this year and then a guy in Germany decided to put RFs on his bagged Benz. I wasn't really amused
But true, most 201s run on either Futuras, some OEM Benz wheels or RS's. Tannerevans on his Breytons and the Gnar_Low (from IG) running on Epsilons were a nice addition.
JDM wheels sound great.

Dug in to the boxes today! Really excited about this management and the quality of the products I received. I can't wait until I allot the funds to buy my suspension kit (bags, struts, mounting plates, etc). Not trying to break the bank all at once and I've got a trip to Cancun coming up in January that I need to allot funds to.

Anyway, pictures! This will be a very very picture heavy thread for those that haven't taken a gander through my RS build thread.

Great, what wheels are you planning though?

In for this! Pretty sure I follow you on instagram, this is your first 190 right? Do you have a hookup with rear bag brackets or are you fabricating them yourself?

Yes sir! It's even in the title of the thread! Haha. I'll be going with the Charged Dubs UK brackets and suspension kit. I reached out to one of the individuals with the company and I have full confidence in the kit that they are providing. It's the best option compared to some of the others I've seen.

Some boxes showed up to my house! A day early! Woot woot.

And this was about 7 hours ago but I still haven't opened them. Been busy too busy working on designing to get around to busting open the boxes. Tomorrow will be the unboxing!

I appreciate it guys! My air management and associated items will be arriving Wednesday according to UPS! The first piece of the puzzle that will become the build of my Mercedes. I've been looking at other things I can do to update the look of the car. I've got something in store that I think you guys will like.

I'm so jealous of American 190E's. They have basically every extras you could get. In Europe getting an automatic with electric sunroof and front windows is already a great deal.
This car is so clean, my favourite colour and interior combination. Looking forward to this one.

Thank you sir! While you want that stuff I'm over here in the US waiting to find myself a set of mint Euro headlights!

Is there a way to subscribe to this thread? I would really like to follow on the modifications you do to this car!

Yup yup. Just scroll to the top of the page and there's an option that says Thread Tools and you can subscribe there.

how much did this set you back (cost?)? been looking at something similar for my 190!

The kit that I ordered was ordered through a close friend of mine. I also ordered it on Black Friday so I saved myself a lot of money. Total out the door it was $1450.00. That includes the following

• Air Management
• 5 Gallon Air Tank
• Dual 444cc Viair Compressors
• Power Kit for both compressors
• 3/8's Air line

I love these cars! I can already tell this will be a good thread

[Respect Till Death]

Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind words I'm glad to know that you're all just as excited as I am to see what ends up happening with this thing. I'm definitely gonna bring my style to it and make it unique.

With that being said. Order for Airlift 3P Air Management, 5 gallon tank and dual 444cc compressors went in tonight! Something like this + another 444. Can't wait.



Next up on the shopping list is euro headlights and clear corners.

So awesome. Followed the link from RS25 haha. Looking forward to see how this goes.

Your RS is SICK! Can't wait to see this car come together.
