Suede and diamond studded CL anyone?

Just spotted this on AT. I am struggling to understand the thought process of the previous owner!!

That's where you are going wrong...you assume there was a thought process.

I wonder why people do things like that.

 

[Iceviolet]

It must of cost a fair amount of money too I would imagine.
But as the saying goes, money doesn't buy you good taste.

I dont understand why it is taking so long for it to sell as it is a stunning , tasteful piece of automotive art that would proudly grace anyones driveway

That's been posted before hasn't it? - As above, it suggests that they're struggling to find a buyer with sufficient *cough* taste.

Maybe he was wondering how to make his car look like a stripper's G-string.

As a colour combo I quite like it (and this is coming from one who doesn't like the CL rear..) especially the white 'flash' along the top of the rear quarters. Obviously not in black suede but if it were obsidian black with the white, yes I like it..
The interior needs brightening up though, perhaps a nice porcelain white leather?

30k nearly too - wow

Check your monitor settings Peter, that white flash is Gold, as are the badges.


It's also badged as a 63 though the advert states that it's a 5.5. It "should" have the M156 (6.2) in it, though anything can happen around that area. I'm not well up enough on the CL to be sure, but I'm not 100% convinced that it is actually an AMG?

 

[Mactech]

Isn't that car inside out?
I admit that I have built one with a similar scheme on the headliner.....but on the inside!
I my own defence, it was a show car

Yup, laptop does show it as gold... Still like the design but would need to be white over obsidian

The wheels are too big.

It's a lovely car, the bodywork is horrible tho

Tear that wrap off, and it'd be 100%

 

[Vitobrabus]

Ooooo, that's nasty.

Made nastier by the suede pile running in dithering directions on adjacent panels

 

[Oldlae]

Sounds like the first owner bought it in the Souk.

I like it in a wierd way, but I'd not like to be seen driving it . Maybe it's the dark matt finish, the streak towards the boot. I'd imagine you'd save a ton on detailing gear, but you'd get a very different sort of vandalism with chavs prising off the "diamonds" and the anti-fur brigade / militant vegans peeling off the suede. It looks like a shoe.
