Can you post pics then please... I could not locate that paint color on the build site even in the Designo Section.


Edit: I just saw your pics on the M5 Board... I wonder why we couldnt see that color as an option the build site though? Its awesome.

Hi Vic

I had posted the pics on MB world first : https://mbworld.org/forums/cls55-amg...-cls-63-a.html

I didn't even see this color on the build site but the dealer already had the car at the dealership and this is not a designo color
