Not sure about the sun roof though. I remember seeing comment about it not looking quite right, and tend to agree after seeing those clips.

It kind of looks like it's just sitting/balancing on the roof and could fall off at anytime ha ha.

It kind of takes away from the sexy lines of the rest of the car IMO. Solution - Keep it shut and pump the AC if it ends up too annoying.

It sure did RHRAUS! can't wait to replicate that in a few months and yes I believe those are the first clips of a selenite grey coupe.

I see what you mean, I do like my sliding pano sun roofs, but they're a bit out of place on a coupe like this, looks quite strange indeed when its opened. Still, not a deal-breaker by any means.

Lovely. And thanks Highbar

Am I correct in saying that Selenite is very similar to Audi's Daytona Grey?

Pano roof will need some getting used to, might look better in real life though.

The roof on the sedan doesn't look this bad.

Floating roof? lol

Mine will be on a tilt most of the time.

Sanch you're gonna love these. They've made me start to debate my colour choice I think an obsidian black wrap will definitely be on the table for me at some point:

Quite possibly the best set of shots of a coupe in the wild that we've seen, enjoy guys:

Trim -You're the man! Thank you for sharing my friend.

This looks really good with the natural lighting.

Yes I think all of the metallic paint option on the coupe are really looking good as we start to see them in the natural light. That's the issue with the matte options for me as you don't get the depth and shades with all the curves.

Has anyone seen a Selenite Grey with the exterior carbon package yet? That's what I've gone with (along with black rims, carbon interior trim and red/black leather), so can't wait to see what the contrast looks like between the paint and CF.

RHRAUS, The very first pictures on this thread had the exterior carbon package, although it's kinda hard to see it. Haven't seen any shots in the wild yet with the carbon package and selenite grey though.

np man Yes indeed , it is similar to daytona grey from Audi ! Have a friend who has daytona grey it looks good, but selenite grey tends to shine more imo.

I hadn't noticed on first glance at the pics but yes it looks pretty good debadged. Might do that myself

The pictures of the black C63 Coupe are fantastic. Black can look great when clean on a sunny day but the lines of the car tend to blend in on dull UK days (and we get lots of those!) so I haven't had a black car since my F10 M5 from a few years back.

I'll keep the badges but had considered getting them done in gloss black along with the doors as they're not covered with the night package are they?

Saw someone did that with their sedan on another thread and looked good.

Very true Dragon. I toyed with obsidian for a while but like you say, it needs good sunshine to stand out, not to mention dust settling even before you finish washing it.

One colour I would jump at is magnetite black, Would be a good compromise
between selenite and obsidian.

Now it makes sense... I was always curious why you guys don't opt for black as much.

I'm in Sydney, Australia. Lucky for us we have a few too many sunny days haha

Yeh, currently cloudy with a bit of rain, yesterday, cloudy with rain... Mind you, try Scotland.

@Uga

I've had three grey cars, Renault 5 Turbo, Renault 21 Turbo and my C7 RS6 from a couple of years ago. I find grey cars to be a bit too neutral and uninspiring. To be honest I wish Mercedes did some bolder colours with the C63, I would probably go with a lighter blue like Audi Nogaro blue or Porsche Sapphire blue.
