Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new car!
Drive careful and enjoy your ride. Share some pictures with us "waiters" who hang around to drool over the new deliveries.

Nice! Great color, it was my second choice, my first was Barolo Red (and i got it ). I don't know about other 204 owners, but I think the Comand system is really underrated and underplayed by MB. It's one of the best features on the car.

Well have fun driving your brand new Benz.

Thanks All.

Bengolf. 30 days ain't that long, so long as it's what you want

MB FTW Nice to get the choice you want. Barolo is not a colour choice here unless it is an exclusive colour, our reds are Fire Opal {solid} and Carneol Red {Metallic}. Totally agree about Comand it offers much more than just Nav.

Yes, but considering we placed the order way back in September...the last 30 days seems like eternity.

The same

<<Barolo is not a colour choice here unless it is an exclusive colour, our reds are Fire Opal {solid} and Carneol Red {Metallic}. >>

Carneol and Barolo are the same color. I know what Barolo is (wine) but Carneol stumps me.

Silicon diOxide, red in color, due to introduction of iron. Sometimes used as a gemstone. Color approaches the wine of Barolo.

Found the brochure and noticed Carneol and Barolo are same

Carneol is a Quartz gemstone seemingly.

Anyway dragonii. When is yours due what spec you ordered. I pick mine up on Tuesday and will get pictures posted asap.

Cheers
