Help with colour choice on my new W205
Hello guys,
been lurking for long and now decided to register since I have decided to place an order on my new C300h Station.
I will go for most of all optionals namely:
AMG int & ext
19 alloys
tinted windows at the back
airmatic sups
COMAND
keyless go
burmester
memory seats
HUD
Drive ASSIsT Plus
Glass Roof
tinted windows
etc etc etc
but I have a big doubt regarding the colour, even after seeing all the pics available in the web
"the one you like most" is the obvious answer I know but I would like to ask you this from another perspective:
I have decided that I don't want a black interior since the 2 cars I own now have black leather interior, so I decided to go for Designo Saddle, thought of cranberry too but since it's a company car I would not go with that colour although it looks amazing.
What do you think is the colour that matched better this interior (Saddle)?
I'm between polar white and diamond or selenite grey.
also, roof bards and mirrors in black like the wheels or alu coloured?
opinions please?
thanks

What ever you choose do not pick Black or White unless you like cleaning the car bi weekly... or don't care that your car looks filthy..
I have one of each !!
Re interior, whatever you like just keep in mond any white or light tan will suffer from dye transfer from jeans etc (all do but these show it). IF you still ant those colours then may I suggest you DO NOT get a dealer applied protectant but look up CarPro Leather coating instead. Will last around a year and with a damp microfiber allow easy cleaning and prevent the dye transfer...
Enjoy whatever you end up with...

Thanks for your advice and opinions,.
I'm really not the guy that cleans the car every day (week) so polar white might be an issue (or not).
I really like it though and think it looks awesome with saddle interior (which is pritty much decided by now) that it will look like this interior (pic stolen here somewhere).
The reds very nice but that colour is not offered here unfortunately.
I'm pretty much now between Selenite Grey and Polar White, both of them will look good with this interior IMO.

yet another question, since now just got noticed that my car was over budget of around 1.2K € (if i go polar white) which has me deciding between which one to leave out:
-Drive Assist + (2.6k€) and keep Distronic + + LAne Assist (not active)
- or COMAND (2.5K€) and keep Audio 20 (adding eventually HUD))
- or ILS (1.7k€) and keep normal LED
*I am keeping:
- designo saddle + carbon fiver interior
- PArk Assist + 360
- Pack night
- 19" wheels
- AIRMATIC
- panoramic glass roof
what would you leave out?
many thanks for your inputs.

I get that you're over budget but if you're spending this much money now keep all the options 1200 euros shouldn't set you back much.
i just love the upgraded headlights. Command is a must with the bigger screen.
I dont have lane assist though.
if you choose white trust me it's gonna look sexy and clean. I have designo white which is beautiful color as it changes a bit throughout the day depending on lighting. At night time white with the taillights looks so clean.

the issue is that is a company car which means I can't pay those extra 1200€ from my pocket which means I have to cut some options.
im more or less into the white now , it's going to be a massive change for me as my cara always have been on the darker side.
as for the options I understand the benefit of the bigger screen and intelligent LED system , but believe the drivers assist also a big benefit...
confused I must say

so look up Mercedes ils on YouTube and see if that helps.
the command system is really great because you're gonna look at that screen a lot and don't wanna spend time in a car with the audio 20 screen. The command screen is bigger and has way better resolution and that's what gives you the upgraded navagtion. so don't cut that out.
besides silver, white hides blemishes the best. I've had black cars and within a month you can see swirl marks no matter what washing technique you use. That's why I don't even get black iPhones unless it's matte. With all your options, the pano roof and all I think white is your best bet.
Headlights are just a major part of the look so that's the only reason I say that. But yes driver assist is very nice. I just like making people getting everything and not regret any options.
