Grey on Black

New to this site. Found the comments posted on here most helpful so thanks.

A quick question, I've got an order in for an August production for the 320. I've decided on going obsibian black avantgarde but what colour inside? I am not keen on black on black (too hot in sunny sydney) or white/stone leather (personal thing) which leaves me with grey (only 3 options offered in Australia as standard).

I am happy with grey on black but the dealer was of the opinion that the colours wouldnt match. Such that they have never received an order with that colour combination before, which I found suprising.

If anyone has pictures or opinions, most grateful in your help.
Cheers.

Black
Beige

If i were you I would take black on black cuz if u buy grey you will

I love black but its a pain to take care of. My old Benz was black and Sadle. VERY NICE. Though they no longer make Sadle I'm sure that new toup or what ever they call it would look far better that charcol or gray.

I am a big fan of the two-tone interiors, especially the Charcoal with Grey. Too bad they do not offer that combination here in the states.

Quick question, is the interior in the middle section under Avantgarde considered Dark Ash/Charcoal? There is an interior option available on the CLK500 with this name & I have yet to see it in person. If anyone knows, please advise me as that is the interior that I want on my next CLK.
