designo X11 package
Here are a few pics of the X11 black interior. It comes as "deisgno Nappa Black" on the netstar report....but oddly did not appear on my invoice. I'm not complaining. Few more pics on next post. The embossed leather is a particularly nice contrast, espcially on the rear compartments. Floor mats are just black with a tiny designo oval on them...hard to photograph. Overall tone of the leather is darker than in these photos that were in glary full sun. Carpet is also VERY black, not grey as in photo.

Few more pics of interior...and a tire shot for StephenK. You know, I'm a little disappointed in the interior of the glove box as it's not leather like my 1970 280Sl's is. But there IS a pair of gloves (white) in the tool kit. Cute touch.

I like the burl walnut wood and black interior in your car very much. That is one of the best color combo. A tip on photographing the car, try taking photos during dusk and you'll get a much better color saturation than in direct sunlight. The best time to take photos of a dark color car would be in the early morning and during dusk, if weather permits when there is overcast.
