Red C43 owners?

Are red c43s available with two tone interiors and how common is the color combo?

Nice find! Red is nice, but I'm always hesistant to get a car in that color since it gets so much attention (especially for a Benz)...but the two-tone interior is a must for these W202 AMG's!

Well mine is simple black. No two tone leather but dark grey carbon instead of wood. Seems this was standard in Europe. The roof liner is a light grey-beige with the transparent sun roof, so it does give plenty of light inside

I've got the two tone blue and black, with wood trim. We also have the light gray headliner. I'd prefer a lighter wood in mine to give it some contrast. This dark wood always looks dirty no matter how often I clean it.

My c36, in silver, has the all black interior. No offense but the two tone looks a little ricey to me and doesn't suit the overall look of the car. Well that's just my opinion for what ever it's worth.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING C43!!!! I was smoking ROCKS when I said I have never seen one...... When I had first got my C43 I saw one, if you remember a thread I had started a LONG time ago I posted about one I saw that had a V8 badge on it, it was RED. The pic on Ebay triggered my memory of the BEAUTIFUL RED C43 I had seen that day, he needed to remove the V8 badge though

at the time I didn't realize how rare the red C43 was

I've got the black on black interior with the gray headliner and the burl walnut wood. My sunroof is tinted stock and it looks like it isn't a window unless you look at it in the light or if you are in the car. I LOVE THE SEATS!!!! My interior is pretty much FLAWLESS and I get complements on it ALL the time.

I love the orange. I think I also saw a bright green one (kinda like the 911 GT3 color) once, and I have a Mercedes Enthusiast with a feature on an awesome UK blue 202 C55. All looked great, and I love the red one too!

I have seen a bright green one as well but I don't think it was a stock color. There is a guy on here with a blue C43 (it also has the most options on any C43 I have ever seen, I think he has ALL of the options) and I think it might be my favorite color for the C43

Here is a link to the picture of the blue (azurite metallic) C43 I was talking about. In the thread he lists his options through the use of a vin decoder, his list is EXTENSIVE and you can tell from the pics. I LOVE the color.... I am not to into the interior though......

I love the blue one. Wish it had two tone white/black leather interior. I also wanted to sell mine for a different color to switch it up too...

Bright green like the Porsche viper green? I like that on a Porsche but on a C43 I must be getting old....
