Congrats, again, Tyrese! Nice car. I never thought that Diamond White & Ash would look so nice. Actually , I previosuly thought that white cars were too flashy, too "blingy" and somewhat feminine...but the Diamond White SL550s in their handsomeness have changed my opinion.

What do you guys think about Diamond White with a Black interior?

I almost went with a diamond white/porcelain, which would have been even flashier. I didn't want to pony up the extra $7K or so for it, though. If you noticed, I debated a long while in regards to various colors and here is my opinion.

Diamond/porcelain : Probably the flashiest and nicest combo for the SL550.

Diamond/ash : A bit flashy, maybe a bit feminine(lol), but looks great. Similar to diamond/stone, but more contemporary.

Diamond/black : I almost ended up with this combo. Black interior is always practical. Looks good too, but less showy than one with a lighter interior.

Black/black : Saw one at the dealership when I signed papers a few days before my car arrived. Great looking combo, but very different from a diamond car.

Thanks tyrese for sharing your thoughts.

You forgot to give a blurb commentary on Diamond/stone. Could you do so please.

I don't think diamond/ash is feminine at all.

Also could you send me a PM letting me know where you found the Diamond/porcelain. I'm looking for that combo.

Thanks again. You must be one happy guy now.

I think Diamond/Stone is similar to Diamond/Ash in terms of the overall "look" of the car, but the latter seems more modern. I also prefer a gray tone over a beige one, which is why I chose ash over stone. Plus Diamond/Ash is very rare on an SL550. Not too many of them around!

Nice Tyrese...i might get mines this month. But still deciding on the interior color. Exterior will be Diamond White. I guess it all depends on what the dealer has on their showroom.

Beautiful Car Tyrese!!! I have the stone interior - hard to keep clean. Im sure the Ash will be easier. The Stone you have to be very careful with shoes and any drinks. I bought the rubber mats (matching in stone color) from MB to protect the carpets...

RonPaul, could you post pics of your car?

I'm getting concerned about Stone as a possible interior due to cleanliness issues.

Thanks.
