Diamond White Pics Please
So after going through the whole Polar White vs Diamond White dilemma, I've got my W205 AMG Line on order in Diamond White after hearing good things.
However, I am yet to see some good quality photos of a W205 in Diamond White and in different lighting to get a feel for how the colour actually looks in person. Obviously the best thing for me to do would be to see one myself however no dealerships that are close to me have one in stock (not to mention there aren't many for sale anyway in this colour in the UK).
Can anyone who has a W205 in Diamond White please chip in with some pictures? Thanks

On a side note I'm in a dilemma about wheels. Did you go for 19 or 18 inch alloys? I'm not sure what suits white more!

When the "360° Fahrerlebis" ("360° driving experience") finishes loading, the different color chips will come up at the bottom. You can click and drag the rotatable image, to see how it looks in different angle of sunshine. This link should load with "Diamantsilber metallic". Mouse over the second color chip from the left and a tool tip reading "Polarweiss" (polar white) will pop up.
When you are finished with the 360° view, click on "Jetzt losfahren" ("now drive") in the upper-right corner. The rotatable image will change to a drive through city streets and corniche highways, with changing conditions of sun and shade. Don't be impatient; driving in full sun appears near the end of the filmed drive. During the "drive", you can change the color of the car by clicking on "Farben und Felgen ändern" ("colors and rims to change"). The color chips will re-appear, but the change in color will be effective only from that point on in the "drive". If you want to see a different color from the beginning of the "drive", wait until the end of the "drive". Click on "Zur 360° Ansicht" ("To 360° view"). You will be back at the beginning, where you can change colors, do further 360° views, or start a new "drive".

If you're around london the MB in Loughton has a few diamond white cars (not w204s) on the showroom floor. Luckily they have a flat white car right next to the diamond white so you can see the colour differences. They also have a white w205 but I can't remember if it is flat white or diamond white.
On a side note I'm in a dilemma about wheels. Did you go for 19 or 18 inch alloys? I'm not sure what suits white more!

Found them on iconosquare but I think they have a filter on them so doesn't give the best idea of the colour during the day.

Wouldn't it be nice if the MBUSA website had more than rather unrealistic artist's impressions? The German site has what appears to be 360° views that use actual photographs, in each available color. Try http://www.mercedes-benz.de/content/...?isflipfocus=1.

Just so you know, the pictures show the US 19 inch wheels that we don't get in the UK. The US get an option to have the 19s in black gloss with a diamond cut finish. We get a metallic grey with diamond cut finish so it will look slightly different to your pictures.

Those are my pics from instagram. The rear shot doesnt have a filter but I think I threw one on the front photo
PM me your email address and I'll send some through or take some close ups outdoors
I haven't regretted getting the DW at all!
