It was freaking gorgeous. It also had the Designo dark brown leather. Not sure what the exact name of the color is.

How do you guys think a matte white E55 would look? With matte black rims and accents.

How much would a nice paintjob like that cost?

OT: How would it look on a 6 series? How much do you guys think that would cost? My friend wants to know.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: And I dont even like the SL body that much. That really says something.

did it have dry carbon fiber? there was a flat white SL63 in scottdale az

Ya it had some CF. Dont know if it was "dry" or not, but the spoiler was deffinitely CF, and I think the rear diffuser was too. The car was magnificent.

RenntechE55

ya sounds like the same one in scottsdale. it was pretty nice the matte white is a factory option i was reading sticker on it and it was around 165k

W211 BEAST

Ya. I've been comtemplating it on my car, and I was just talking to a friend and he wants matte black for his M6, I'm trying to talk him into matte white. If it looks anything like the MB paint I think it can make any car look good. It looked like matte pearl white TBH.

Sorry, I ddint think about it at the time. I'll take pics next time if it's still there. Maybe I'll call my service guy and have him take the pics and E-mail them to me.

I hooked him up with one of those AMG Cafe shirts, he cant say no. Lol

I live in Downtown LA, maybe I can stop by tomorrow or most likely Friday.

RenntechE55

well the car was for sale at schumacher mercedes about 3 weeks ago when i was there but idk if it was on their website. btw i would see about vynil wrapping the car because you can always take it off. seen the blk C63 for sale? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...#ht_934wt_1200

That would be awesome. I'm at USC right now and I'd go after school but I have class til 9 tonight and no school tomorrow.

Sorry I didnt take pics guys.

I saw the SAME exact car at Herb Chambers in Boston. It had a carbon fiber decklid spoiler and also carbon fiber diffuser. It was BEAUTIFUL! It was also a special edition (1 of 60 or something to be made) and had a sticker of $160K.

I can take pictures On friday and post here if people are interested.

What is the difference between dry CF and not-dry CF? I touched the CF spoiler and I have euroteks CF rear decklid spoiler and splitter on my E55. The spoiler on my car is more shiny and glossy. The one on the SL was more smooth and not as shiny. Both look good just looking for some more info on this as I dont know much about CF!

Vinyl wrapping woul dbe great, but are there any downsides to it? (heat messing it up, scratches tearing it off, stuff like that?) It would be great for my friend who's M6 is currently leased.

W211 BEAST

If "dry" is what I think it is then ya, he one at Downtown L.A Motors had dry CF. The CF version of matte. Lol.

Gorgeous though.

And the C63 in that eBay is beautiful too.

So i found some more info on this in the SL forum. It is the IWC edition. The thread below has info on this and also some pics. Looks stunning in person.

I think Dry is the term to use for matte carbon fiber. so it will just mean there is no gloss??

E55_GT3wheels

That makes perfect sense. It was definatly dry CF on the IWC SL edition.

Oh by the way, my sales guy told me you get a $20K watch if you buy the IWC edition SL too. haha. For $160K, its far from free. My sales guy has jokessssss. "free" yea righttt

RenntechE55

I think some places offer a warranty on the vinyl wrapping so it should be ok if they will replace it if it has any problem

W211 BEAST

I just called my service rep (Jerry) at Downtown L.A Motors. He ddint pick up but I left him a message asking if he could take some pics of it and E-mai them to me.

W211 BEAST

Anyone have a website for a vinyl wrapping place in the L.A area?

W211 BEAST

And does anyone know if it's possible to get a rear diffuser like the SL63's on my E55? It;s my favorite thing about that car.

I'm at USC too, are you on the undergrad campus? I'm not there often usually at HSC.

W211 BEAST

Ya, undergrad campus. I'm in class in Edison auditorium right now. In the Hoffman buiding.
