Interior Photos Thread - various non 55AMG colour combos please....

...am looking for a change of interior. Currently have Obsidian black, with black wood and graphite leather which looks really good but want a change in the future. Don't have to spec a possible replacement for sometime yet, but was thinking of keeping obsidian black and going for the light chestnut wood with the alpaca grey interior. Anyone have any photos? Or any other photos of the various combos available?

Thanks

Haven't seen chestnut with grey, Nasty, but don't you think it might be a little too light with Alpaca?

I think the walnut in mine is a lttle too light with the grey but stepping from the grey interior to my sand BMW interior makes the wood look acceptable but the upholstery look dirty!

I think chestnut looks great with the darker interiors; Audi does it well. I will be interested if seeing one when you get a reply.

I have seen it and it looks great. I dont understand why its a "not recommended" combination on the Mercedes paint and upholstery chart.
