Hey, I just wanted to see what everybody thought of these two colors.
Scroll All THE WAY DOWN TO READ THE REST
SORRY COULD NOT MAKE PICTURE SMALLER. THERE SHOULD BE ATTACHMENTS.
I HOPE THE POLL IS WORKING, DIAMOND SILVER VS IRIDIUM SILVER
These are Diamond Silver Pictures

I ordered my SLK 350 to be a Diamond Silver and Black Leather with the following options and packages:
-7-Speed Automatic transmission with Touch Shift control
-AMG Sports Package (I am going to chrome the 17" 5 spoke AMG wheels)
-Premium Package
-Comfort Package
-Intergrated Single-feed 6-disc CD changer, mounted in glovebox
-Blue Illuminated Door Sills (when you open the doors it glows blue on the bottom)

Diamond Silver all the way...
I have the Diamond Silver, and it's by far the best looking color on the SLK. It looks almost just like the Iridium in most light, but at night or under flourescents is where it really comes alive.
The Diamond Silver is like the Iridium, but more, if that makes sense...
Take it easy...

I am in the same position as you are do not know what to choose. But I think i am going to choose Diamond Silver over Iridium becouse:
1. Dimond sliver give two different color in day light and at night but Iridium silver is the same color all day.
2. Most of the SLK's are ordered in Iridium sliver so they are going to look the same and becomes boring.
3.most the people I spoke to when I show them the picture they choose Dimond silver.
4. I think Dimond silver shines better and looks better.
I went to the dealership two weeks ago and asked him to pull two cars for me beside each other one Iridium it was an SLK350 the other on was Diamond sliver SL55 from their I saw the difference. I think you should do the same.
Good Luck

But their is one problem with the color:
After I talked to different dealership around the states they told me that people do not like buying that color (Dimond silver) so the re-sell value go down more than the normal silver. but they say that if you keep your car for a long time, it's a nice color but short term not very good.
What do thing everybody

Have you gave some thought to that? Any silver, black, and white with black interior has the highest resale price.
