RE: 190 E 2.3

Seriously though, I would suggest you go for the basics, like an exhaust system & Airfilter change, no more.

Check and replace your spark plugs if needed, as well as your oil & fuel filters, see if your tranny has been serviced recently as well as your engine oil, Get your injectors cleaned, tyre pressure checked, alignment done, springs and shocks checked, make sure all the right placs are greased, check to see your intake manifold is clean on the inside, check your air flow sensor is working, and finally give the whole car a good cleaning. You may find that just by doing this your car will run and feel alot better.

Additionally you can opt to change all the rubber seals around the doors, trunk and hood, and also get your suspension bushes changed.

(I hope I didn't miss anything out)

Once done, post some pics for us.

Good luck[8D]
