Where are you in Atlanta (generally speaking....I don't want your address)? I'm over in Powder Springs and I'm looking to trade my 300TE for a 300D. After I do, it would be nice to meet up with those of like mind in the Metro area.

I live south of ATL, but I work in Midtown. I'm all over the greater metro area during the day, odds are you might see this car chugging along at some point.

The color alone should make it easy to spot. Is that Manila Beige? The ubiquitous Mercedes diesel color.
For the record, I love that color.

Not sure what the official name is. The tag on the key just said 'ivory'. I'm not incredibly fond of it, but I don't hate it either. I'd like it more if it was a little more white, a little less yellow.

That pale yellow isn't such a bad color. Not my favorite either, but it'll do.

At leaast it is not a red, black, white or silver putty blob influenced by the japanese manufacturers lack of paint diversity !!!

Plus, it will serve nicely in the summer to reflect sun light and help keep the car a bit cooler.

This should help find the color:
What's my bumper trim color code?

Look for the number on the lower left on the stamped plate on the core support.
