2017 C63s coupe- selenite grey or white

I need some serious help- I have always loved the selenite grey with black wheels since it was leaked many months ago. I was able to get the 1st allocation in my area for the car build.

After looking at a few pictures, I am thinking of possibly changing this to white. Specs:

1. Full carbon fiber packages
2. Black and red interior
3. Black wheels (oem or aftermarket)

I feel like the white will make the cf parts stand out more than the selenite grey.

I can't find too many pictures of the white with cf parts on c63s coupe. I have a lot of selenite grey pics but can't seem to find too many white exteriors.

Any suggestions / pics that anyone can share with me.

Thanks for the help.

Alex

did you see Mode Carbon's thread? Not stock but gives you an idea.

My 2 cents is that white looks better, but I'm not a huge fan of carbon exterior components unless major parts of the car are carbon (i.e., BMW M4 roof, trunk, etc).

That is, bolting a carbon spoiler onto a metal boot lid isn't fooling anyone; the boot still isn't carbon so kinda looks janky to me ...

Selenite is a beautiful color. I think the White with all the carbon/night package will be popular. Be different; oem cf for the win.

These are 2 great looking colours for the new C205 AMG coupe, can't really go wrong with either one so basically just choose and settle with the one "YOU" prefer the most

If you want another personal opinion my vote is for white, specifically diamond white.

Good luck with your final decision, as said can't really do any wrong either way

Another vote for diamond white - although I understand it can be difficult to maintain which is why I went with silver although I slightly prefer the silver look in any case.

C/F looks great if you have enough of it on the car - so I've gone with the front and rear and the mirrors. Personally I think it would blend in too much on a grey car.

I'm stuck bet polar white and blue.

Separately which alloys do people prefer ? The black cross spokes or the coupe only multi spoke with the fat lip?

Cross spokes. I'm not keen on the fat rim.
In a choice between polar white and Brilliant Blue. Blue for me.

Where I live, everyone and their mother has a white Mercedes. Only reason I'm not doing white. I didn't want to own yet another white Mercedes (yawn).

Both are great options!

I'd go with white with the black wheels and CF options.

The selenite grey is too subtle... unless you pick the magno.

C300 Coupe
Thanks for the replies!! I always wanted a magno color but i will have to wait for july for one.
Maybe if i give you a bit os spec on both it will help:
THE difference in spec of both colors are the following:
DIAMOND white has keyless,360 camera, analogue clock while the slant doesn't have.
Selling grey has the exterior carbon fibre but it doesn't have keyless,360 camera and analogue clock,
i hope this will help

white cars are a bit too plain for me (unless it's a particular model). Main reason I was a fan of selenite is because while grey might be a subtle colour, this one changes depending on light sources. it'll go from dark grey in low light to a light tone where the metallic flakes really pop.

That being said white will probably complement the carbon fibre better than selenite. At the end of day its up to you to chose a colour that will make you feel content every-time you walk towards the car

Despite not being the biggest fan of white cars, the spec sheet favours the diamond white (I'd say function over fashion here ). keyless is simply a matter of convenience but some viewing angles out of the car aren't the best and I've found the 360 camera invaluable because of that.

My vote is for white. I have gone with gloss black bits because you really cannot see the carbon unless you are very close. I just ordered the Ed 1 gloss black spoiler too.

I go white too LOL (bias.2) but everyone who says "white is everywhere" is only talking about basic Benzes in the area. But since this is a forum things get specific and directional so we all see these bad *** cars and then someone else posts their car and it becomes a redundant item but in reality it isnt.

Im actually fortunate to have both and I usually choose white but Selenite was the only option on my GTS back in 2015 (ED1 car) and Im pleased with it. But for long term ownership (personal thoughts) I like white. I never have and never will get a car based on what else I see on the street. I get what I get cause its the color and model I want along with affordability.

My Selenite and White Benzes:

You can take a look at some of my posts as well. I too am biased with going white (all the cars at my house are white). I have CF on the mirrors and the spoiler.

I went for diamond white ED1 with full carbon packages. Will be here by beginning of April. Selenite and black was my 2nd choice. But i am for white.

Personally i would never buy car without keyless entry. And i always scratched my wheels on my previous cars. Since i had 360 camera o my last M4, my wheels were like new without single scratch and front splitter was untouched....

Haven't seen many pics of an ED1 in diamond white. Should look amazing.
