I have no idea yet, I really need to be saving more money and stop spending it on toys.....at least for a little while. So I may do a few small things to it but overall I love the car and I don't need to change anything on it yet.

You're right. The Granite Grey came out on the C-Class in 2004.
When my wife was shopping for her 2004.5 C320 SS, there was one in this color, and I would have put $1 million that she would go for it.
Just when you think you know a person.... she went for Metallic Pewter (cubanite silver).

Granite Grey is my favorite C-Class color hands down !!

Now imagine a 2006 C350 SportsCoupé in Granite Grey !! (drool )
...too bad MBUSA doesn't think so.

i agree.. if someone were to ask me what my favorite MB color was up till I saw this one, I would have said my platinum blue (I love how it changes darkness under light).. but now I think this color has trumped it.. Envy..

wow thanks for all the compliments everyone, I wasn't really expecting much since it's still stock. This color is my favorite by far and it has the black interior to go with it.

yet another place I envy you.. Black interior, while my favorite color would be murder here in AZ.

post some more pics of the car when you get the chance, include your interior.
