Cool. But I've always thought any kind of black is a bad color for the SLK, because:

a) it makes an already small car look even smaller

b) more importantly, a dark color makes the F1 nose and the front lower bodywork completely disappear. these are the two elements that make the SLK distinctive. with a dark color that hides these features, from a distance the front of the SLK can easily be mistaken for a miata or something like that.
