C180 W205
C180 AMG, Diamond silver or Selenite grey

Hi guys!

Im planning on buying my first mercedes, a C180 with AMG interior and exterior. One thing i can't decide on yet is the colour. I'm not sure to get either diamond silver or selenite grey. Im already strugling for a week to find decent pictures of a W205 sedan in selenite grey. Could any of you help me with posting pictures here of the colour selenite grey on a W205 sedan/limousine and if possible with the 19 inch AMG rims? (Pictures of diamond silver W205 are also more then welcome to increase the stress of choice )

Thanks !

Selenite grey all the way...diamond silver has too much blue in it for my taste.

Diamond silver is in fact the faster of the 2. It is the best silver a car company known for silver cars has ever made. The night package is necessary too, otherwise the paint turns more teal with the silver trim. With the black contrast, it really looks powder blue.

Beautifull cars! Thanks! Would there be any major differences in keeping any of these colours clean? Sadly neither of them jump out screaming that they're the better one You have any more pictures of the back of your car Cenzo86?

This is my C180 with amg ext/interior.I added some personal touch ups..the black rear spoiler,diamond black grill,black wrap on the mirrors and red amg wheel hub caps.Also plasti dipped the chromed exhaust tips.
I love the color especially the contrast it makes with the black elements.

C300 Coupe
I am facing the exact same problem. We already owned a C300 in Iridium Silver, it is a really great color. Since we already had it, otherwise I will order my coupe in Iridium Silver. Thus, I am indecisive on Diamond Silver and Selenite Grey as well, but I do think Selenite Grey is a little bit better, it looks modest and Diamond Silver looks more sporty.
I just placed my order yesterday and I still have chances to change it but I think I will stick with Selenite Grey. However, if you do like a sliver, I highly recommend the Iridium Silver, it is really beautiful.

Your car is stunning. Sadly the night package isnt offered here for me. It does come with the AMG interior and exterior tho.. I can get the same wheels as you have tho wich makes a big difference imo. Maybe i can wrap the mirrors and the rear under bumper to make it a bit darker.

​​​​​​You should not judge a car color on pictures, but you have to go to a dealer so you can compare them in real life. Then you are sure you make the good comparison.

Ye but it's close to impossible to find a diamond silver W205 in this country :') None of the dealers i called are aware of a diamond silver one, so it looks like i'll order it from a picture incase i choose for this colour. But im getting your point, it's a bit risky.

My dealer never even heard of the color. I actually had to walk the lot with him to find an iridium next to a diamond E class. He even tried to talk me out of it. He told me "if you order an iridium and you don't want it, I can get rid of it. I won't be able to sell a diamond silver car". Big mistake, HUGE mistake, on his part.
As far as the night pack or AMG pack dilemma, in the US, the night pack includes the AMG pack. Ask your dealer if that is the case for you.

That's not the case here. I gotta go for diamond silver without the night package then. With the 19 inch black AMG rims, it'll still look awsome i think! Maybe i can wrap some parts in black later on
