I swear white is just AMAZING. Aargh, decisions, decisions.

You know, from below those halogen lights under the car look cool, but it'll look stupidly goofy / ricer on the road.

JC: gotta spread the love.

Tezta: you like the white grill? I'm not sure, but i haven't seen a white one w/o it so I can't say which one looks better.

Alabaster White is stunning

I expect our SL 500 to be built in Dec and think that it will look very good in Alabaster White. I had reservations about AW last year when I ordered my CL 500 Sport because I did not have a good sample or chip to look at, as it was a new color to replace the Glacier White that MB had used for years. My CL is stunning in Alabaster White/Java. The lines of the car are very clear and it looks a bit bigger than dark colored CL's. I may even spec it for my 03 CL 55, although I do not yet have the AMG color matrix, as the interior combinations may differ from the CL 500/600. The SL will be for my wife, who has expressed interest in the Magma Red or Firemist, but I may be able to persuade her to get white or black. Saw a black SL with sand interior on Wed and it looked stunning as well.
