Looks good! Mercedes makes an amazing red, and it looks terrific on a W211!

I'm usually not a fan of brighter reds on cars, but that looks damn good.

Dam...this thing looks freaking outstanding in mars red. And this was a color that wasn't available on the W211.
And since the CF trunk spoiler looked so good on your car, I just placed a order for my E63, to go along with my CF lip spoiler and rear diffuser and engine cover and intake air boxes.

Nice E55. Just curious what wheels are those? If you do not mind sharing what sizes (front and back) are you running?

No, it's not a factory color for that time period. This is a after market color.
The closest color Mercedes offered to red was burgundy.

The Barolo red was offered for the E55 and E63 during those years and was kinda rare. There have been a few popping up lately here on the forums.

Mars Red IS a factory Mercedes color on many of their models over different years. Google “Mercedes Mars Red” and you will see plenty of bright red models.

Here is one example of a Mars Red Mercedes on the forums.

I’m pretty sure it was never offered standard by Mercededs for the E55 or E63 during those early year models. Although there was mentioned of a custom Mars Red E55 done by Mercedes for a ball player.

The wheels are Simbolx x1’s, I forgot the offset as we played around so many times to get this look. I’ll look into it for you.

This is not an aftermarket paint job. This is a factory Mars red e55, I’ve been told there are 5 factory painted cars worldwide.
