W203 slightly modified
It is slightly more blue when it is driving toward you and slightly more red driving away from you.

IMO its too big for red, it screams "check me out" which for some is ok but it will wear out its welcome pretty quick. What I do like the is the license plate "AMG one man one engine"

Not much feeling for the Mars red or any non-metallic red. I could like it in Firemist Red or Storm Red.

Was one of them a recent ebay auction? I remember seeing one of them maybe 6 months ago on eBay...didn't pay attention to the wheels though.

That is a sexy color.
