C63, What color

I think this photo captures the red pretty well. For me they are one of the few modern cars that look good in red. It helps that it is a darker red than the usual postbox shade.

On the weekend I saw a dark blue saloon with the polished alloys like above. Looked great and it would be my choice if I wasn't brave enough for the red.

Paladium Silver looks great for the C63...personally not a fan of the red, but perhaps that's because my last 3 cars have all happened to have been red!

Any colour will do when you have that noise!

Usually people get cars wrapped white. What colour are you thinking? Wanting to tone down the look? Or just fancy another colour?

Will have had it 3 years, just fancy a change. Thinking either grey or maybe dark blue.

Congratulations and welcome to the dark side!! Best to get done sort of petrol nector card!!

I like black, would like the matte grey on the 507 but not for 3.5k - also the silver is quite nice but I went polar white on mine - the white shows off a lot of the black trim:

Well in the end i have a color not yet voted for.

And no, it's not the one on Autotrader, just identical.

I was originally wanting the 507 in White but MB had stopped taking any further orders so I had the choice of:
1. The only unsold, 507 in the UK in Iridium which was sitting at MB World or
2. The only unsold, 507 in the UK in Iridium which was sitting at MB World!

Having never seen one in Silver I was a little unsure but bit the bullet and paid the deposit.

No regrets from me the day I went to swap cash for goods; although I think Silver works better against the piano black contrast with the 507 trim.
I wasn't all that impressed with the standard C63 in Iridium.

Those alloys on the C63 are absolutely stunning, where did you get them?

Same question as above to you Sir

Standard fitment on the c63 507 edition.

Optional

[Pib1978]

The silver wheels are standard on the 507.
Black are optional.

[chiefski26]

Both incorrect, please prove me wrong - the black style wheel was as I said above standard fitment on the c63 507.

Yep I paid for the black as an option over silver. Just so no one is extra confused, I showed a pic of my car with the standard c63 alloy (18") on in one of those pics - they are oem track/winters wheels.

Looks so much better on the 19"'s.

[chiefski26]

I was stating the 19s were standard regardless of colour as opposed to the five spoke wheels.

[Ozzy997]

Palladium silver being my number1 choice, but you can't go wrong with black, silver shows all the bodykit curves and White has presence.
Hope this doesn't confuse you anymore ha
