Any opinion about exterior cf pkg on white CLS63?
I am still not deciding whether to have exterior cf package on my order of diamond white metallic CLS63. How will it look like that a white 4-door with cf mirror? Any opinions or suggestions? Thanks a lot!

I may order some other CF pieces when available on the after-market. I wonder if CF shells for the mirrors will be available, or if the entire mirror assemblies would have to be purchased (guaranteed not to be an inexpensive proposition).
Safety and regulatory requirements vary among countries, which is why U.S. bound cars will have that ugly orange side marker (which I'll switch to a white one when they're available). But it's a mystery to me why the availability of interior leather colors and exterior paint colors, plus various trim bits, varies from country to country.

There's even one requirement that varies from state to state. If I lived in a state which required a hideous front license tag, I'd move.

But to answer the question, I think the exterior CF package would look great on diamond white.

A: The paint, color or dye used is not available outside of the country where it is produced in. Believe it or not, some colors are manufactured to be ONLY sold within a certain region. In some ways, they "patent" the color so as such it won't be duplicated.
B: The paint, color or dye used may contain certain products that one country may deem unsuitable for consumer use. This may be due to its toxicity, or chemical structure, which could cause harm to a person when and if it ever needs to be repaired or replaced.
C: The paint, color or dye does not meet local country / state EPA or FDA regulatory standards, or contains byproducts (such as those from an animal or plant) that are forbidden or illegal in ones country.
As for the trim bits, that's usually more of a demographic and or preference thing. It's also a way they can set apart subtle and sometimes legally required difference between Euro standards and those of the rest of the world. Offering one accessories in one country and not in another can also can come down to patent / royalty infringements between the designer of the component(s) and or manufacturer (not everything is always manufactured by the auto manufacturer).

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
The contrast of the two colors will make the CF really pop.
