Orion Blue Metallic?
Hi, i saw this picture of Essa's car in the official picture thread. Is this color called Orion Blue Metallic?
I was just wondering because I haven't seen this blue on a sedan before. Did they just start offering it on the sedans recently? I think I've seen it on a few coupes before, is that the same color?
Thanks.

2002 C240 Classic - Orion Blue Beast!!
They've been offering it on sedans since the W203 came out. My MY02 sedan is orion blue. It's not as common on sedans though. Most sedan buyers are more conservative than the coupe owners, thus they pick more classic colours, like silver and black.

Hottest Color no doubt: Orion Blue Metallic
Yep, that's definately Orion Blue Metallic. Very hot color. Here are some more pics of Orion Blue Metallic on a CLK and the hot red metallic color that was mentioned on a E55.

05 C230K SS and 02 C240
scottisha,...Thanks.
Those are TSW Bremma Staggered 19x8.5 and 19x9.5...lowered using B&G Springs. For 05 C230K SS, finding rims without the need of spacers to clear the front break caliper are pretty hard unless you want to spend over 3k. I bought them through neal (BlackC230Coupe) rims+tires, balanced and lug nuts shipped to your front door for less than 2k. You could PM or email him at BlackC230Coupe@aol.com.

My gas sipping C-Class
That's an awesome price for wheel that look that good.
I'm not a big fan of TSW and their heavy wheels, but they do look nice and the "Price is Right"
Any rubbing issues?
Thanks ESSA,
Scott

scottisha,
Front : 19x8.5 et 31 with 0.5 inch lips, tires nitto NT555 235/35/19
Rear : 19x9.5 et 35 with 1.5 inch lips, tires nitto NT555 265/30/19
No rubbing what so ever with that setup.
PM Neal (BlackC230Coupe) or send him an email to BlackC230Coupe@aol.com He'll hook you up. He's also a member from this forum. He said that TSW Thruxton or Catalunnya would fit our cars too with no spacers....that's the beauty of it. They're heavier but not noticeable to slow down our already slow car....beside, most of us don't race our car right?
