Lightbulb SLK Color Combos..Survey and Picture Thread

Post your best SLK photo that shows exterior and interior colors to help future neebies, like me, visualize their color combos.

I just order my SLK55 in Pewter with beige interior - I have not seen this one yet..dealer had a 55 with all black interior which was okay...but I am moving up from an all black w/black interior...this thread will help us see choices and comments from their owners.

This is not like the New SLK-Class (r171) Picture Thread...show one photo if possible.

Boy what a difference in color from the catalog and this photo. This appears much lighter in tone...even though its a soft photograph. I'll check with dealer if they made a change. This could be a Euro color leather.

I do like the contrast between the dash sections and on the doors...

The ash color is pretty light, I like it that way, the reason I wanted beige from the start. I don't think it's euro spec'd, it looks similiar to all the other ashes I've seen.

Here's a color conversion of Beleriand's Red 2006 Brabus B55 (Brabus Modified 2006 SLK55 AMG). I hope he doesn't mind.
