wow, is that a custom interior color? I've never seen that before. I really like it. It would look even better in my champagne car!! 
If you're open for recommendations, on a black car, that light gray grille insert looks much much better if it's painted black. I've done it to my car, and it really updates the look. Just take it out, clean it up, get a rattle can of plastic primer and a can matte black paint, and spray it. It should only take an hour or two of your time!

that interior is called saddle, I have it in mine as well. It is a bit darker and richer than the light tan, more contrasts. Also mine is leather and I believe that it was only offered in leather which makes the car smell different than mb tex. I personally love it and the fact that the leather is mint helps as well.
So another mercedes owner with a rover, it goes hand in hand.

I don't think it came out perfectly, perhaps because the bumper is all Grey where yours has the black insert. On mine it just looks a little odd. I'll wait though till we get some sun tomorrow and see what it looks like.
Cheers and thanks for the suggestion.
