Capri Blue C63 are VERY rare in the US, and this is why I bought one . H73 will look great with the Sahara Beige interior! If you think its too dark, then you could get the Orion Blue when you order.

2009 C63 Capri Blue
I really need to get some good pics of my car before we let it go since there's so few Capri Blue C63's out there. It really is stunning and very understated.

Thanks. That is keen. I did not consider Sahara Beige!

So did you go with Capri Blue? Wish I saw this post earlier, as I would have provided some pictures of mine. They are posted under a separate thread in the forum.

[quote=black-clk500;4344630]I think this car in Mars Red will get too much attention from vandals and cops--the P31 calipers are a brighter red and do not match Mars Red, so I think it may look mismatched.


If that is the case then the red calipers wouldn't match to any other color either.

2009 C63 AMG
A C63 AMG in Capri Blue is very rare for the US, and if that's what you going for, more power to you. However, make sure you see (in person) a car with the Capri coloring on it in daylight before you decide on the color. I thought that color was what I was looking for as well until I saw a car colored with Capri. While I'm a huge fan of blue, the non-designo blue (Capri) really doesn't, IMO, look good or fit the muscle and power of the C63 AMG. It actually looks purple in several lights. However, if you're going to opt for the designo color....another story.

Just my 0.02...
