SL55 Berry Red
I like the black SL55 with the berry red interior, but I don't like the red and the dash or on the door panels just the seats. So my question is: Would it be easier to order the SL55 with the berry red interior and have the panels replaced with charcoal or order the entire charcoal interior and find a set of berry red seats? Or are either of those impossible? Thanks for reading this and helping out.

The first thing to know is that MB trim parts, especially those covered in leather are extremely expensive and there is the whole issue of fitting them.
The other thing to know is that MB seats, especially those covered in leather are also extremely expensive. It was said at the time when the previous 129 generation came out that the two seats cost as much as a small car, the reason being that the seat frame and its mounting have to be strong enough to provide a seat belt anchor point and then you have all the complexity of the new seats - heating, ventilation, massage, electric adjustment. Over the top, as only MB knows how.
I think you should but black/charcoal and then look to have the seats recovered by a specialist auto trim shop. Either that or find some one who wants a berry red interior with charcoal seats.
