May seem a strange question, but here goes..

Just bought my 190E 1.8 Manual and I suspect it may be a sportline spec - can anyone help?

AFAIK, the car has never been messed with and I was of the understanding that the 190E 1.8 was a "poverty spec", but has:

Rear spoiler
Body kit (a slightly darker colour red)
The grey "tartan" seats with fair sized side bolsters (Recaro?)
Wood surround for the gearlever, but nowhere else.
Lowered (I think) - not much gap between the tyres and wheelarch, plus struggles to get on my ramps!

Apart from that, pretty low spec - manual windows and drivers mirror, manual sunroof. Wheels are some aftermarket alloys by the look of them, so not counting them!

Would there be a specific code (or codes) on the build card to help identify if these bits are original or not?
