Lynn, you really do know everything. Ok, so there are many more color options in Europe. But there's probably still a good chance that those cars are custom, just because it seems like that is what that company does. But if I'm wrong, that's okay. I won't lose any sleep over it.

No, I don't everything, or even much sometimes. I wish I knew what the Euro Designi colors are.

I agree that the SL is a custom, but I think the CL and the S may be Euro Designo, especially the S.

What does Designo Silver look like anyway? MBUSA website says youve got to see it to appreciate it. Well in the picture they show it looks like a ligher Desert Silver. I dunno, just very curious how much better designo Silver is over regular metallic silver. Anyone have any pics?

Here is a pic, but it looks nothing like this in person. This pic makes it look a lot like desert silver.

gentlemen...

those are designo combinations ordered from MB bremen. They are available to our market for a modest price of around $8000!

If u guys want any additional info about the different color codes available from europe, then just PM me and i'll be more than happy to post pics.

U guys aint seen anything yet, we have some funky designo benz's around these neck of the woods!

I think this is option for AMG only. I’ve seen a lot of weird colors on SL AMGs around here lately. I’ve seen weird blue, weird green, weird purple (LoL, weird!) and now this weird pink! Actually this one looks kinda brown!

But its not a European option, I'm sure.

not necessarily. I remember seeing these sierd designo paints on cars like CLK200's and SL350's and mainly on S320's and S350's.

its an option from europe and its available for any model.

That's a great orange! I can't see myself in it but I'd sure admire it on the street.
