I think you will need to wear purple shades just to look into that car man!

I will say it is an unusual colour interior but it does grow on you, hope you enjoy the CLK

Naaarrrr, white suit all the way with a purple hanky in the top pocket and white Starsky & Hutch strip down the side of the CLK.

Give you one thing, I have not seen that combo before & does look alright.

The car looks great.
We also chose Jasper Blue (Orion Blue to our USA cousins) but with the two tone Alpaca Grey interior (Ash to our USA cousins).
Sure beats the usual Black or Silver, I would have liked Magma Red but the dealer was not keen to import this colour for us, Maybe next time!

Hi Smandkjc
The external colour is Designo Maruritius Blue the flash photos are not the best to show the true colour it is quite a different colour to Jasper blue, the leather is also designo Mauritius blue, we added the options of Glass sunroof,linguatronic,luxury front seats (heated & ventilated),multi contour front seats, active Bi xenon, harmon karden sound system, illuminated door sills, ipod, rear airbags,I also had the sports pedal kit fitted

ok, are you guys serious!?

Honestly i think the CLK in that form looks pretty unattractive. Add the blue leather and now it just looks like an Accord Coupe at a Hot Import Nights show.. oh lord.. this is bad.

Here in NZ the multi contour seats and the sports pedals are now included in the AMG appearance kit as well as cross drilled rotors, larger twin exhaust, Steering wheel gearshift buttons, lowered suspension and 18" wheels.

Beautiful color! I'm not sure I like the FULL blue interior, but none-the-less it's quite nice. The steering wheel looks awesome as well. Enjoy!!!

I agree. Blue leather belongs on a stool at Chuck E Cheeze's. Can't think of a single color combo it would go with.

Hi Froggy yes it took sometime longer then yours it got court up in the customs computer bungle they had and the place where they put on the compliance plates had it for 3 weeks also. It hit Aussie soil at the beginning of October.
The blue leather is not as bright as it looks the flash photos has made it brighter than it is will take some more without the flash this photo of a SLK has the same blue Leather it doesn't look as bright

I hope you have a good warranty because they totally bunked up the steering wheel.
