hello ppl,

Well.......started with 5 options......now left with jus 3

1) Silver exterior with grey interior but with black tint windows (the only way it will look different from the other silver E's)

2) Black Exterior with sand/stone interior.....

3) Tealite Blue with grey interior.....

BTW - wht do u think of the white E class...???? i saw one the other day......an avantgarde/sports package one.......it looked kinda good........i was impresses......wht do u think ????

and do u think black tints will look good on tealite blue ???

thanks,

 

A friend of mine has an avantgarde E class white with stone interior and a panaromic roof - It looks great and even nicer than other white E's because of the pano roof. So if you do get white, get the pano roof its a very nice contrast. I dont see why black tint would not go with Tealite blue.. By the way, I will again suggest that you consider a charcoal interior.

 

I saw a E270 CDI at the local dealer and it was in Tealite Blue with pacific blue leather uphostery and it looked great. We have now ordered the same vehilce in the that colour for delivery in September 2003 , however I still have another two months in which to change my mind.

I meant to say about the colour. In addition, I have been toying with the idea of going for a CLK 270 CDI. It is a really good looking car.

 

Would appreciate it if you could get pics of that car ! None of us have seen the pacific blue leather on any of the W211's to date. Did it have burlwoord or black birds eye maple?

 

Not sure if I can get a picture of the car as I saw about two weeks ago and it had plates on it. I think it was the avantgarde with birds eye maple wood trim, however I would imagine that the burr walnut wood trim would be just as nice.
I have ordered an Auto Elegance which has walnut trim as standard, nappa leather, sat/nav, heated seats, Parktronic, split seats, Bi-xenon lights, and a different type of alloy wheel.
The standard alloys are a pain to keep clean because of the 13 hole design. I leant that from my Volvo S80 whihc has a similar configuration. Although the Avantgarde is slightly cheaper, I am a bit wary of the lower sports suspension because the B roads in the UK are worse than those in a developing copuntry or to put it bluntly, genarlly bad.
Maybe someone can tell the ride difference between 16" wheels and 17 or 18" wheels. I am not exactly a person who throws a car aropund corners, however I do enjoy acceleration and speed.

 

Too bad, I really wanted to see some pics of the blue - I guess mellow or you will post some when you get your cars. I was not bold enough to make the decesion to get the blue when I ordered back in June, especially given the fact that I saw no pictures / samples of it. Regarding your wheels, I'm glad you ordered a different set than the 13 hole design - Not only that sucker is hard to clean but it looks fugly in my opinion. Which other design did you get? Regarding the wheel sizes and sport suspension - as soon as you go from 16" wheels to bigger you automatically have to get either the sport suspensioon or airmatic DC. my car has 18" wheels and the AMG kit with the sport suspension and its not really that low ... I have never rubbed once and our roads are worse than the UK ones - Trust me on that one. 17" 5 spoke as in the avantgarde standard rims would look nice but would require you to get sport/or airmatic suspension. Here is a pic of my car.

 

I take it tealite blue is the same as what in the US is known as Platinum Blue?

 

Yes, thats true.

 

I hope we all get to see it before i post picks Muhri, as were taking delivery end of april early may so itll be a while before im postin pics

 

Dude, what the hell you doing then? get off your butt and go find some pics or look for an E class that has blue interior so you can see it and share some pics with us.. You are the one taking delivery

 

Loooooooooooooool, i know dude ive tried but theres nothing out there , somebody recomended an issue of road and track i think it was the december issude where they test a clk500, the pic of the interior was too small to be conclusive, on wheather or not we should go for it, plus were pretty much out of time as far as changing anything goes, but ill post some if i do find any, im still awaitin the better quality pics of your gorgeous tealite blue amg though

 

I did take many pictures but I am yet to achieve what I would consider good quality! I'll have my cousin who is a professional photographer take them when she has time.

 

Good stuff well be waiting

 

I think this is the pacific blue interior I ordered, I saw it only in the brochure.

 

go to ebay and search for "2003 mercedes". There is a white / pacific blue E-class with pictures.

 

Be sure to post some good pictures when you get your car, Juan.
This is one of the least posted colors on the board.

That's Charcoal.

I will do that and link it here if I find it.

The pics do not do the color justice IMHO - They are not clear and the blue looks more greyish/charcoloish.. I guess better resolution pics and a better camera would give it more justice.. Anyhow here are the pics.

I think the black wood goes with the interior though!

 

last one..

 

muhri2,
Thanks for the pics. You have a real "hot" ride.
I am impressed!
Enjoy

AND AGAIN FROM MBUSA, PACIFIC BLUE

I think the photo I posted bebore was more similar to Pacific Blue (depending on lightning conditions). I thought Pacific blue wasn´t so clear as it appears on than white Merc. I like it too.
