Building a AMG GT Roadster- need Advice on Options
I am speccing a GT Roadster, not sure it will be a 18 or 19 yet
Things i need to decide on
1) Diamond white over red top or Selenite over red top - not sure yet on which exterior color,combo any thoughts?
2) STD suspension vs Adjustable ( i am looking for a soft ride in C mode on bad roads and tighter flatter handling in S/S+), not sure how C mode in Std supension i s vs C mode in Adapative suspension
other options i am getting
1) Red pepper/Black nappa with Piano black interior
2) 659 matte black Black Wheels
3) Dinamica steering wheel ( Cannot belive there is no heated steering wheel , My Gle Amg coupe has it and is so useful in the northeast )
4) Distronic plus , lane tracking
5) ventilated seats
6) Perf. exhaust
7) red calipers and keyless go
8) regular burmester , airscarf, red seat belts
Any feedback will be appreciated
Thank you

I have selenite w/ red top and was very happy with the results (and have had a lot of random passer-bys agree): https://mbworld.org/forums/amg-gt-gt...-roadster.html
No roadsters were out when I ordered mine and so just had to hope the combo would work out. Since then I've seen one locally that was white/red and didn't like nearly as much as mine. It's all personal preference though as I'm generally not as much of a fan of white cars as other people are.
The other options look good. I like my dynamic suspension as it is more comfortable than expected in C and of course handles amazing in the stiffer forms (it also handles quite well in C). I haven't spent time driving one without it, so I can't help that comparison.
One thing I highly recommend is the piano black/matte-cf interior trim. I got mine with just piano black and didn't realize that in place of CF the other bits would be generic matte gray automotive plastic. I'm not a huge CF fanboy, but the gray plastic looks out of place in a car this nice and I spent way more than the cost of the option to upgrade the trim post delivery.
You didn't mention it, but for sound i have the base burmeister option and it sounds fantastic to me. I can't imagine that I would get more value out of the high end burmeister system.

, Probably will have to order one as they could not locate one with all the options I want
