Visi,

Very nice color. It looks a lot less boring than the run of the mill black and silver variants.

Those MAE wheels are awesome. They are very AC Schnitzerish.

Based on your interior door trim, would that be a designo color for your car?

"Exclusive “designo” packages are also available. These packages add custom color metallic paint, custom color Nappa leather interior and exotic wood trims. They are available in three variants: designo Cashmere, designo Espresso and designo Silver."

Color wise I know,

I've already looked at the brochures and it wasn't that hard to confirm the U.S. spec color options.

I asked if it's a designo color because he's located in Europe and I wanted to know if there were different designo colors offered there.

I also drew my question partly from the "gathered leather" trim on his door panel, which at least the standard CL500s here in this country did not come with. I don't know, perhaps CL500s were equipped slightly different from the ones sold here.

The color appears to be Black Opal...which I have on my CL65 (and available on many other models in the MB line-up). I have the chestnut wood interior but with the Charcoal Nappa leather.

Tom,

Please post some pictures of your car for us to look at.

I know it's not the AMG forum but I am sure no one here will object to it if you do.

Beautiful cars!

The CL65 even comes with the Distronic option! You can really tell how the color Black Opal is different from the standard black color. It almost looked Flint Grayish compared to the black color. Nice!

Now, which ones of these gentlemen in the pictures are you and Tom?

Jon

Very nice wheels w/ decent rear lips! I don't see too many of these on a Mercedes.

A side view shot would be awesome though!

Someone there that day must have taken a picture of your car from the side, right?

Jon
