Hey peeps,
Thinking bout getting another W202 again! I've seen one advertised but the pics not up to much. It's a C230K sport in akind of ice blue metallic. Does anyone Know this color and /or have any decent piccies of it?

I'd also like to know what people think of the colour (those who know what I'm rambling on about :D ). I quite like it, though I do like being different. Bit like all the Vivanite boys! :D
 
Just my opinion.

I know the colour and wonder if it's a bit insipid for a 202. It suits the 210 due to the lower look of the car and the curves, but the 202 has an altogether more butch appearance and a higher stance.
 
Hi Roj,

:) I think the ice blue metallic you speak of is Pearl Blue? I could be wrong. I guess if I had to pick another close colour then Tealite blue (as seen on BrianWH's W211) is a few shades darker. I know the colour you mean and I concur with Dieselman's opinion, the colour just doesn't do it for me personally but if you like it then go with it I say :D After all everyones' tastes are different.

*EDIT* Is this the colour?

Now 'sunstone orange'... There's a fantastic colour for a W202, about as common as hen's teeth too ;)

Here's a useful site that lists the available colours on the W202, scroll about half way down, hope yer German is up to scratch :p.

Go on get a Vivianite one, you know you want to ;) Hehe though given the turn out at the last GTG we may get more common than silver :p :eek:

Maybe this colour blue ? Click Me Or Click Me Or Click Me Or Click Me
If it is I think thats Pearl Blue as mentioned or maybe Aquamarine Blue
 
Think it's probably aquamarine blue as Steve's link(good 'un btw!) shows pearl blue not to be available on Sport models. Still not sure about it. As mentioned before , I don't mind a break from the norm, just not sure if it does the handsome W202 shape any favours.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll go and ponder again for a bit :crazy:

Just noticed it's actually the car in the first of Aletank's clickies that I may be interested in.

Further to the posts about MB colours, I heard that MB are making some cars available in those 'flip' colours ie they change colour depending on the light or the angle you look at them. Is this correct? Has anyone got one?

MB have done the two tone colours for quite a while but they are only available to special order through the Designo programme, hence they are quite rare.
