I liked the way it looked.

Just imagine, everyone is gonna think its a p i g , non-amg, etc. etc. I would get an ecu tune bfore wheels.

Please keep me in mind if you get bored with it!

A Mercedes obviously!
Am I the only one who doesn't like some of the designo two tone interiors? The one in the pictures above with the black and orangey brown seats (particularly in the back) look plain odd.

As long as you like that then that's what is most important

fraser , i never liked the designo package till i saw it in person trust me pictures dont do justice. im a very picky guy when it comes to color combos....but designo looks weird in pictures , diff situation when you see the paint and interior in person. its flawless im sure oliverk and cameraman agree with me here...they have same combo..and i like em.

You're right, I haven't seen one of these in person. Perhaps I should reserve judgement until then.

its not as orangey in person. the flash exentuates that. Think of a nice baseball glove.

I saw a bentley continental with the beluga interior, and I knew I had to have a brown interior. Its a bit more wild than black, but it looks great to me.
