So far I've seen photos of SLR's in green, blue, white, red, and orange. I'm going to the factory in February to see what the other 'factory' color options are. I like seeing the SLR in 'other' colors. (of course you can order one in any MBZ color -- so I am sure that more than a few people have done one in a 'different' color).

That ugly front plate
That front plate is required in certain non-US countries. It is NOT standard on SLR's in the US. Some of the SLR pictures I've seen from other countries have HUGE front plates, and are simply horrible.

I agree 110%! MB should design some new wheel options to go along with these fashion colors! Chrome would be fantastic!

According to my sources they sold it at the show for $2M durhams and took orders for four more exactly like it(!). They've already got a ton of SLR's in the UAE and Saudi Arabia ( I think there are more SLR's in Saudi Arabia than in the US) -- but I've been telling people for six months that the new available colors would renew interest in the car....
I'm planning on going to the factory in February specifically to see the new colors for myself.

wow, i like that better than the black. The blue works with the metal flake better. The Black SLR i saw looked like it had glitter dumped all over it.

It's a really nice color, I must admit...although I absolutely LOVED the black one I saw in person...I thought the finish was outstanding. I'm torn b/t the blue and black now...but still lean black.

The interrior of a Mclaren that a friend of a friend owns is white, or I sappose considered "silver"
Picture of his interrior: I liked it, but I would have gone with black on black.
