I love the color, but it will be a tricky one to pair exterior mods/wheels with.

This color evokes "classy" more than it does "sporty"... so mod accordingly. Subtle mods will work best on this one. Not sure what (if any) caliper color would look good aside from silver. Same goes for the wheels.

Window tint is a must, and the smoked LED tails/clear corners would mate well with each other.

What color is the inside?

In that case, it would definitely be a sleeper!

Still looking at the Konigs?

not sure with this car. wheels will be a hard choice. maybe renntech monolites with a green pinstripe?
heres the moronie sticker
look at the options section "spc special order" no idea what that is unless its the tele-aid fone that was an option

sparkie i saw that car but black without the 2 tone interior doesnt twist my buttons having already owned a black 32. im now looking for nthe rare color, red white or special order like this one

Ah okay. When I saw the low miles I thought I had to run it by you.

Good luck with your decision.

The monolites use a very light colored metal... with a pin stripe, everest green is so dark it would probably look black from afar, and up close it might look like a pack pf spearmint. I doubt it would work well. And can you even still get monolites?

I think this is a prime time for you to get Forgestars. They make a five-spoke with a lip, and one w/o a lip that has a nice concave look to it. Multiple finishes to choose from, including silver/machined face. That's the route I would take if in a green car... as I said, less is certainly more.

Letterings/stampings on the wheel would be an absolute no-no. But that's my humble opinion...

I'm not a fan of green cars, reminds me of the color of the older Chevy Malibu's. Just my opinion though.

I like the green. Reminds my of the Brit racing green. Much better than the pea green MB made in the 70's and they still make toliets and sinks in that color here!

BMW has an new green theat looks good too. I liked the Gen 4 vette with green and /tan.

Like the earlier post the Green is more a taditional look. I think a tan or saddle interior would be the best interior choice. Just MO of course.

I like it. I have never seen one in this color. It would probably be pretty unique. How many green ones where built?

unlike the xfire forum the r170 folks dont spend much time researching how many of anything was built. only stats are the total # of amg 's were built but nothing on color options. i found more colors than i ever knew existed but no way to know how many were actually built

I like it. With the chrome wheels, it would pop.....besides, people aren't going to see it for very long are they? lol.... I found an SLK 350 in a gun metal blue color I really liked. I loved the look of that car. I hope they decide to sell it to me. They had some really neat toys in their garage. I love gearheads. Like I said, if you find one up this way, I will check her out for you...good luck, but summer is near, keep saving the $$$$$ to get what you want...

i was thinking chrome doc! maybe some brabus VI rims
its closer than you think!
i looked at the r171 but i cant get past the ugliest nose in the history of cars, it reminds me of squidward from spongebob every time i see it! also dont care for all the electronic gizmos that will fail 10 yrs down the road and have to be replaced. the xfire/32 is still very mechanical imo
