Yes finally it’s my turn.
My “all red” SLK350 arrived at the dealer.
Mars Red
Red Interior
7-Speed Automatic Transmission
Lighting Package
Headlamp Washing System
Bi-Xenon Headlamps
Corner-Illuminating Fog Lights
Premium Package
Garage Door Opener
Rain-Sensing Wipers
Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control

I will go check it out next week but I will pick it up on April 15, since I don’t have a garage and next week I’ll fly to Romania for about 2 weeks.
A few light mods to come after pickup.
My wife convinced me to give up on the lambo doors (she was mumbling something about down payment for a house).
I’ll post pictures shortly.
Thanks everybody for your input from this forum. It was really useful.
