No, I think the silver paint hides dirt better. It looked worse in person I think.
Anywayz, at least I know I won that contest among MBs in my school. They have this uncanny ability to stay shiny even in winter

After the last storm here, the vertical panels on my car were white. The hood was a sort of gray-blue. It was warm enogh to wash the car last Sunday. Monday we had high winds blowing dirt, followed by a brief rain shower. The upper surfaces are now brown. Today it snowed, so the sides are turning white again from the salt. It will just get worse over the next few days. The bad part is, it won't be warm enough to wash the car before I go out of town on business for three weeks.

Ha! I thought about doing this! My last trip to la la land,
I saw THE dirtiest cars ever on I5.
I mean late model, 1 year old cars, who's color could not be determined, with a layer of black soot on top of the dirt near the exhaust pipe. Several of them. They seemed to be in a contest.
Absolutely the dirtiest cars I'd ever seen. Too bad I didn't have a camera handy.
They reminded me of that skit on SNL about the car made of Adobe clay.
Anyone remember that?
Was it called the "Adobe"?

I know it is not a W203, but I have been pulled over 5 or 6 times in past winters for a non readeable license plate by the dutch cops...
my C250D in wintertrim:
...for those who wonder; the color is 994 amethyst...and my license plate is reflecting yellow...

what's with that grille?
pokerFACE, is that a custom grille, or is that how they come in Canada? Looks different from mine -- widely spaced chrome slats with several "intermediate" black slats??
