Mercedes 190E Projekt NICHT Projekt

UK car enthusiast Dougie McColm (known on Instagram as @dougiemccolm) is renowned for his stunning, period-correct restomods of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth (W201). Originally developed in the 1980s to rival the BMW E30 M3 in DTM racing, McColm transforms these historic vehicles into timeless, bagged showstoppers while preserving their raw, high-revving DNA.

His highly praised work seamlessly blends retro motorsport styling with modern aesthetics, resulting in an aggressive yet exceptionally clean profile. Key features of his projects include:

Custom Stance & Fitment: Equipped with Air Lift Performance suspension for a dramatically low ride height, perfectly paired with a rotation of custom classic wheels, including 17-inch TH, Rotiform, and OZ designs.

Aerodynamics & Exterior: Period-correct carbon fiber accents, such as front splitters, emphasize a menacing, track-focused DTM look.

Interior Upgrades: A balance of racing-inspired touches, including custom carbon fiber door cards, alongside premium sound systems from Car Audio Security.
