Seems I was in miserable b@stard mood so apologies as I clearly read it wrong. Oops. Well, that meant I could have it in red which is the colour I always wanted an SLS in and I've spent the last few months believing Hyacinth red would be fine. In reality, it was superb in some lights, average in others. In other words, not good enough for the money I'm spending.
The issue with colour is.....well, me. There are plenty of nice colours and indeed, the grey looks superb. If I was buying used, I'd have been delighted with that grey (as I was with my first SLS). But having a choice?
(It's doesn't photograph well).
The E Class that we have now was meant to be Hyacinth Red, this was based on the pictures of the lovely deep maroon metallic E class in the press images.
Just before we ordered we found that MB Epsom had a used E Class in Hyacinth Red. That's only 25 minutes away, so we drove over and looked at the orange car and decided to order a white one!
This time I've been a bit of geek, last week I ordered a spray can and lacquer in the colour I'd like and I found something to spray, a metal flower vase/water jug type thing. Sprayed badly by me, but enough to know if I like the colour or not, and I do
A bit sad really....
Oh, and thanks guys for putting up with this the last few days....I've known women choose a pair of shoes faster than this
And one more thing......
Is this for real??
It actually looks like this:-
My wife thinks I've gone a little bit daft.
Just think how nice the AMG GT would look in this colour!
That colour is lovely
Have you ordered it on that car too?
