I passed a Barolo Red lux C this morning on the Valley Freeway at about 7:35 am. You? Mine (same color) was dirty! The lux was much cleaner. Looked a lot like your car (tan interior, etc.).

Yeah, I wondered about that .....

It's rare to see a new C in my neck of the woods (getting more now, probably about 4 are around) and even more rare to see my color. The combination looks a lot like RLE's car ... so I HAD to ask!

Whats the paint code for Barolo Red. Thats the color of my brothers Lux and I have a spare Lux grill that I was thinking of painting for him. He's not into mods but if I did it and installed it he would like it.

Many forums have threads or sections dedicated to this. I have been "spotted" on my motorcylce several times through the years...pretty cool when you are a few states from home...of course my bike is more customized than my C, but give me time.

Um, color: Barolo Red (#544) is unusual, no?

Last time my car was in the shop and already fixed, I was talking to the S.A. and saw a Barolo Red car being pulled into the shop and put on the lift. Cool, I thought, another one. Well, it was mine, back in for an MB corporate inspection of the work the shop had done. So, while the C may be becomming more "commonplace" the color isn't.
