Pewter with Ash Interior
Anybody here who owns a Pewter with Ash Interior? Will appreciate it if you can post pictures and comments on this combo.
I really like Pewter, but prefer to stay away from Charcoal and Stone if possible. TIA for any info or recommendations.

Feffe posted pics of his CLK in pewter/stone on the CLK 209 forum I believe.
Not sure if I've seen pewter/ash on these boards, but obviously the ash is the large double-spread interior in the E-brochure, showing 3 passengers and the various temperatures around the car (the 8:32am page shot from overhead).
Ash is also the color on on drive dynamic seat shown on the '6:23pm" page.

Rays, do you happen to remenber a while back a guy here that posted some pics of an E500 in Texas with Pewter/Charcoal, I wanted the other day to look at them, but I dont find them aywhere.
Also IMO, I dont think that pewter/Ash would look good.
Pewter is a kind of dark goldish grey , therefore a no no for me.

... and I need to post some updated pictures since I've done the Zaino treatment and have the wood/leather wheel. If it's pretty this weekend I'll take a few more pictures after a Z7 wash and Z6 QD. I think the charcoal works well with the burl wood and the pewter. I'll do a couple of interior shots also. The wood wheel is what really brings it all together, IMO.

There was a pewter/ash car at my dealers. Interesting it is not a special order despite what the brochure says. IMO it looked terrible. The ash really clashes with the pewter. It is because the pewter has a slight brown tint. I would not recommend it.

I agree that Pewter and Ash just doesn't work together.
The thing that I can't understand is in my E Class brochure it says that this combination is "recommended" and the nicer and better looking combination of Pewter and Stone is only "possible".
It should state at the very least that both combinations are "recommended" or even the other way around!!
Is it a mistake?
Weird!!

Oooops
I thought the first message of the thread said platinum blue. I agree with the rest of the guys regarding cubinate silver (peweter) being best looking with either stone or charcoal... ash is a no no imo.. I would go with Charcoal like I did with my car for the dirt factor with stone. Though stone looks great I admit.

Have you seen Pewter in person, it is actually, not gold, but more silvery. And Ash is less gray and more a cross between gray and brown, so I think it may go with Pewter, but not sure.

The second one (with the stone interior) is not Pewter - Its desert silver which is more like a golden color..

Yeah, Desert Silver is too beige-looks too old fashioned for such a modern looking car.
Pewter changes with the light from grey to brownish silver depending on the light.

It was at Stead in Walnut Creek, but this was about a month ago and it was ordered by a customer and I'm sure its not there anymore. I would strongly encourage anyone to see this combo in person before ordering.

My en route car is pewter/ash, and those are huge pix on eBay, but the photog really did a thorough job of coverage on the interior.
I can understand the choice of stone - it really looks nicely rich and warm with the wood (particularly in the ebay photos of the pewter car). My personal issue was I wasn't hot about the brownish plastic/dash/wheel/door panels - too many earthtones stacked up for me.
As for charcoal - I didn't want it as an interior for the same reason many folks comment on black exteriors: the cleaning nightmare, showing any dust, just a very dark (duh!) interior.
I wanted 'lighter' and the brown dash was what eliminated stone as a choice for me. Not that I know what color I'd make the dash if I could design a stone-leather-interior myself.
