Very much look forward to seeing pics of your car. I've seen tanzanite (capri) blue C cars but not a blue C63 yet, pics or in the flesh.

I took the car out yesterday hoping it would clear up for some pictures, but it was overcast and dark all day making the car look almost black. I'll see if I can snap some today.

Well, weather was still bad and both the camera lens/car were dirty, but I know some people are waiting for some pictures to get a look at the color so I snapped a couple this afternoon. The one of the door handle is the best picture of what the paint looks like, and the one of the right front gives a rough idea of what it looks like in natural light. Its usually a dark blue, but can look black (see the emblem pic) or even purple.
