Go back about 200 messages, when you get done reading, you will be up with the rest of us.

 

You're both wrong, Silver is the best

 

Welcome,

What you have missed:
- C230K seems to only come in 2 colors, Orion Blue and some else
- Pulley Kit, lots a talk, little action
- Upsolute chip, ditto
- Aftermarket leather, Classic Soft trim
- C7, YES!
- reply problems
- yes, dealers will give you a good price


for the rest, start reading.

 

I think black is... but it's also a pain in the a$$...

 

I gotta agree with Mav666, black is best! (just don't touch it, or look at it under sunlight)

 

computer nerd / business geek? darn! I hate being a stereotype. at least i'm 25- not 35+ ...

Shoot! so should I change color? I still have a couple days...
but what would i get? red is for girls and silver is for old people ... what am i left with?

I was actually going to get a topaz M3 before I aborted my child and adopted the c230k ... because insurance wouldn't take me .... something about the M3 being on the restricted list, my 2 reckless driving tickets in the last 6 months, no other car, and a totaled 95 M3 four months ago. the *******s.

anyways. unripened lemon color maybe? capri blue? (though capri is for pants, not for a car)

 

Black is best. Capri Blue wins an honorable mention though. Not sure about the Orion Blue

I refuse to be called a business or computer geek, so it's nice to have some company. Welcome!

 

why don't you try black opal. i don't think anyone on the board has one yet. I was pondering that color but for the extra $1000, i didn't find it worth it. Saw one at the dealer. It looks really good.

 

My Green/Black (black/opel colour code 189) finally turns up tommorrow after a 6 month wait. All metallic colours here cost AU$2396 extra.

Stay tuned for photos.

 

AHEM!!!! I'm only 23, so silver is not for "OLD" people Anyways the actual best color is the one that not many people get because it cost so damn much and that's Black Opal That color just screams BLING BLING!!!!


P.S. Vince you hit the nail right on the head...

 

Magma red sure does stand out in a crowd. In a packed parking lot, it's easy to find. just another color.

Does anyone have any pictures of a C-Class in black opal?

Thanks,

Tim

 

 

Yes, I do believe you're right. The Upsolute chip will be in this Saturday with a dyno following next week to show the results

Black is the best when new, clean, and waxed. Extremely hard to maintain. I've had black cars all my life (24 years) until now. Love that color. However, silver will look newer in 4 years. Swirls dont show up as much. I agree, silver does have that "Bling Bling" look!

 

you mean, louder. I wouldn't want anyone asking me to turn down my car.

Just teasing...Red looks hot, but not in my slot.

Orion Blue rules - right, tommy?

 

SILVER IS THE REAL THANG~!
