Calcite WHITE! Is it Cool?

[55NF]

I chose white for my new C350 Cdi back in March & macho'd it up wiuth the 18" AMG whhels.

I'm wish I'd gone for black. It's a bit too flash for me and a bit bling. Wish I'd gone for a more business like conservative colour. My last five cars have been black & I decided to have a change, one extreme to the other!

My Grandmother had a stroke a few months ago & I have to look after her poodle sometimes & take it in my car. The image isn't good when I'm in the car with my Dad & the poodle.

Any other members with white C's or E's ?

It looks good, but will show the diry very easily.

+2 especially with that pano roof. Good choice.

My black is a swine to keep clean too.

I like it, the issue is the poodle.....

Lets be honest no car no matter what colour with two blokes and a poodle will look good

If you really dont like it get it wrapped! saw a wrapped matte white 997 911 today and it looked stunning

Looks very nice! The wheels suit it very well. For me though the inside could do with a different colour leather, Designo white or Flamenco red would be the Mutt's

That's odd as I didn't have an issue with MB business lease & white, however I've just ordered a 118d M Sport hatchback for the wife, and they insisted on metallic paint for fear of future residuals.

What's 'wrapped' ? I have to be careful what I do to it being on contract etc

a wrap is a plastic sheet they heat up and it sticks to the paint work , you can have any colour you want it last about 4 years but you have to very carefull how you clean it . i believe it fairly expensive . personally your car looks great and white seems to becoming the new black anyway .

I thought about White but wasn't brave enough, saying that it has become very 'popular' over the last few years and dare I say is becoming a regular sight on the road. I saw my first DR520 in matt white at the w/e and thought it looked very good.

Your car also looks very, very nice. All you need is a Brabus kit and you'll be done.....

those wheels suit the white perfectly

if too 'bling', just don't clean it and it will be more subtle

An absolute mission to keep clean, all it takes is a bit of moisture on the roads, and it's dirty again!

What colour is the Poodle?

I prefer white to black but some cars just don't suit it and some companies visions of white are more beige or pale grey than pure white.

Poodle ? Get a West Highland Terrier - a proper little white dog
