pics of SL55 in white?

my dad is looking for a SL55 and he isn't quite sure of the color. i told him to pick something flashy because it is an expensive car. anyone have pics of a white one? or another color that would look good, preferably not silver or black, since we already have two benzes in silver and black is impossible to maintain...

I too was concerned about white, but considering it. But, having only seen pictures, Aegean blue was my top choice, white a close second.

Then I saw white in the flesh in Dubai - and the SL55 is absolutely brilliant in the color (plus the dark interior matches well). Aegean blue, at best, has the light gray interior which is kind of ho-hum, so I'm sold on the white / black combo.

seen 2 white SL 55's

in saudi arabia, both looked incredible, one had the charcoal interior the other looked like stone, if you are thinking of white go for it, looks great....having said that, if you want something flashy then magma red looks great too

The house Sl55 pics look awesome. The second set looks like south beach......gotta love that. I dont think that's an SL55, but the white does look very good despite the ugly spoiler kit and the rapper wheels.

So did Lorinser take off the side badges on purpose or did the customer ask for that?
