C63 Edition 1 Coupe
Steel Gray or Irridium Silver

Hey I was wondering if anyone has picked up a coupe in either of these colors yet? If so could u possibly post a picture.

I originally ordered steel gray I have always liked that color also now I like that it is exclusive to the coupe for the 2012 and I had it on my old c300, but I was thinking that the middle of the front lip (black part), the diffuser, and also the panoramic roof might look better on a lighter colored car such as silver which is my second favorite, I'm worried the black inserts might not be very noticeable.

Also my expected modifications to the car will be 15% tint, yellow calipers, possible gloss black vinyl window trim, and possible gloss black grille. That will most likely be it, trying to keep it simple.

Any input or pics, welcomed

Thanks

I have the same thought regarding the darker colors. The lighter colors will have a better contrast. I'm in the hunt for a white sedan. Iridium Silver is my 2nd choice.

If you want something different, I would highly recommend ordering your car in Diamond White!

I've seen all side by side, and actually prefer the palladium silver......that is if I didn't go black.

The diamond white looks really good, but I've never really been into getting white.

Are You are talking about the sedans? And what years were they?

Agreed. Last Sunday I happened to see 3 Es sitting side by side on my dealer's lot. Black-Palladium-White. Palladium wins!

Thank you everyone for your comments. I'm going to stick with my original choice steel gray, I feel like if I change it I will regret it.
