S550 Coupe
Thumbs up My new designo edition matte grey S550 Coupe

Just pulled the trigger yesterday and joined the S-Coupe club. It has the designo Magno Alanite Matte Grey factory paint and the designo black exclusive nappa interior. I was originally looking for a 4 door S550 but I just fell in love with this car when I saw it so I had to buy it instead. Plus being that I'm 32 years old I feel it's a younger and sportier car so it's a better fit for me overall. If there's any tips or advice I should know about the car feel free to let me know. Thanks guys and I'm excited to join the club!

BG,

Did you add the V8 TT to the fenders, or is it a 63/5?

I didn't add those. They were on the car when I bought it so maybe the first owner did. Are they not supposed to be there?

Great color choice. I had a 2013 SL in matte grey. I used Harley's S-100. Just spray it on and rinse it off.

The accent lines really stand out in matte gray.

Nice dude! I just got the same car last weekend. I just tinted the windows 13% all around. Looks sick. I want rims on mine now.
