As for me, I'm talking about 049 designo magno cashmere, which is the matte version of 799 Diamond White. The undercolor and pearl are the same, but the topcoat is matte/satin finish.

There's a matte white W212 with Pano and a white roof and trunk spoiler on it at the Resort where I'm staying.

HOLY crap is it stunning.

Any chance you could snap a pic of that car? I am contemplating putting the roof spoiler that I took off my old E350 onto my E550/pano but I know there's a lot of debate as to the color contrast of white against the black of the pano roof.

Hopefully it's still here so I'll try my best. Usually I'm against that look, but lately I've seen a few examples with that setup that look great. I'll be wrapping my roof in gloss black on Tuesday or Wednesday (will look Pano-ish but not fully so might not be the best test bed for you) and keeping my white roof spoiler so I'll also post pics of that.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
