yes it is porcelain. And you're absolutely right, it simply wipes clean! I remember when I was in the US I was planning on ordering an ML55 (at that time) and the choices of colors for both interior and exterior were very limited, as was the choice for many other MB cars. Having the option of special ordering a car in any color you desire is very appealing.

And the Bentley is Nautic Blue, not black

My wife's favorite. Guess who won out on that one!!!....
That's a 430 on your avatar no?

Seems MB names something 'designo' and limits you to 2 options here in the US and charges through the nose.

I had a 360

Miss it terribly but the Bentley is a more practical replacement for us. We can take our friends if they are small friends...

Hope you like it

Thanks transferred... GT2 just arrived about a week ago, but I havent decided on whether to go ahead with it or not. New spy pics of the upcoming GT3RS are giving me second thoughts about going ahead with the GT2.

Anyway, a decision will be made within the next 48 hours

True words dat

Some great deals out there man, Picked up 3 and you won't believe at what prices:

1) ROO Navy Blue Dial Titanium on Langkawi Hornback with titanium deployant

2) RO New York La Boutique PVD

3) Jules Audemars Grande et Petite Sonnerie

Spoke with Nazir at AP Salhiya and he said they never got a Grand et Petite Sonnerie in Kuwait since 1978....I found that shocking I mean our collectors here are pretty savvy anyhoo I'm very pleased overall

I have to say that is one cool box! haha I love that car, so rugged and such a unique presence. Also the fact that you can blow small sports cars off the road is also pretty neat. AWESOME RIDE! Also love the interior, compliments the white exterior so well! Congrats!
