Its metallic midnight blue, almost black its the sleeper project I have just started:

Might see if I could paint the blue part of the badge in red, although I had another idea which I think I might go with - fit a machinegun/aircraft gunsight instead - I think they are called 'spider sights'



It would be a really subtle change but might give some second looks - always thought that the mercedes hood ornament was meant to be used like that lol. Having now driving my E300 around a bit I now find its actual purpose is to locate the front of the car as its a very long way away!
