I had never seen that color on an MB before, my first reaction was re-paint lol
I think that on the trunk is the satellite antenna that I have read no one likes  YES, it looks stupid but not deal breaker.
I do feel that way exactly, not my first diesel, but my first Mercedes diesel. Something I have been waiting on for a long, long time. Grew up around them in the home land, my uncles had them (not diesel) and I always wanted one, so now at age 42 I feel like a kid on christmas.
I have a couple of cool old pictures of my uncles' cars somewhere, I'll see if I can dig them out and post them.
I was joking about the diesel smell, I've had them before, and yes, I too like the smell  |
I don't see a reason to repaint the car, unless you find the color objectionable.
The dealy-bob on the trunk lid? Not the satellite antenna. The satellite antenna is at the mid point side to side crest of the rear window/roofline. So it's for something else.... Maybe a CB radio antenna?
The pics of the car doesn't look like a Designo from any of the pictures to me. Over the months shopping for a used CDI, I have noticed that many of the used 05 CDIs were loaded-up a little more with equipment options than the '06 CDIs.
The diesel exhaust smell on the 06 CDI is less offensive to me than the '99 W210/M606 engine I owned for 14-years.
