just do that thing i told you about with the 3M vinyl i was telling you about.

Not a custom color, but discontinued as of 2005-2006. It's Midnight Blue. An OG color from early Benzos, but according to Steve (MBenzNL) not very popular in Europe. I love it because it's not the metallic Capri Blue and not very many manufactured in this color. Only know of less than a handful on these boards and rarely see one on the road.

And the rims are custom color matched to the car. I try to go as original as possible, while keeping the ride clean looking and not gawdy.
to be honest, i have NEVER seen that colour before. but it's nice, very rare & original ... like how you matched your rims too

Nice! I'm glad you've never seen it before. Keeps it unique!...

But thanks much for the compliments. Seen your color a few times, but gotta give props to a female with a hooked up w203 Okay, that's enough bowing for me, but definitely have out done many males on this message board, so it's justifiable...
