CapriBlue 2006 SL600
Well, here she is! Will get some interior photos later today and add to this thread. I'm really pleased with the color. What are your thoughts on keeping wheels as is or going for chrome ones? Your opinions are valuable to me....after all it's all you guys who convinced me to get on e of these babies in the first place.! Thanks to all of you!

Beautiful color! Congratulations. I really love the new AMG 55/65 style wheels, too.
BTW, does the Capri Blue have metallic flake in it? It's hard to tell from the pics and I haven't yet seen this color in person.

Black Opal
I have an older SL with Black Opal paint. That's one of those colors that can look sometimes black, sometimes purple and sometimes blueish depending upon the lighting and angle you look at the car. I looked at different colors, but went with black, polished up and clean it is a great look.
