Anyone Have a Storm Red SLK?

Hi,

I ordered my SLK late May before details of the 2007 line were known. I ordered the
Firemist Red, which has now become the Storm Red. The dealer showed me
some color panels of the two side-by-side. The Storm Red seems to have a bit
more black ( meaning darker ) in it.

Could someone post a picture of a Storm Red SLK? They must have produce at
least one by now. Hopefully, the new owner is on this forum.

I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Mike

I think Storm Red has been available for the CLK in previous years. You might try to find a CLK in that color to get a feel for it.

Anyway, it's too late to change your order, right?

Not sure. I've read about people changing their color up to two weeks before
their manufacturing date. My date is August 10th, so I think I still have time.

Weird. I ordered my SLK55 at the end of May as well and it went into production the first week or so of June... It should already be here by the 10th of August. Wonder why production on yours is later...

Well im just about to buy a 2006 SLK( need the car now) in firemist Red and I did consider the storm red. From what i can gather its only a slight shade darker than the firemist, so im assuming that it will look very similar and therefore look awesome!
