Mercedes 200E w124 from http://www.gieldaklasykow.pl/mercedes...

The IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt in September 1989 saw the unveiling of a completely revised model range in the medium class, the modifications consisting mainly of restyling to the body and a refit of the interiors. The most distinctive feature of the revised models was the side rub strips combined with integral side skirts, which had already been introduced in similar form two-and-a-half years earlier for the coupés. At the upper edges of the side skirts, narrow polished stainless steel trim strips were now additionally fitted and continued along the tops of the front and rear aprons, bringing back the long-absent (and much-missed) chrome finish in understated form. This effect was enhanced by chrome trim elements on the door handles and modified hub caps, on which the three-pointed star and a narrow trim ring on the circumference were also chrome-plated. Another new feature was the exterior mirror casings in the same color as the vehicle. The interior was also given a makeover, with improved seats front and rear and various enhanced details.
