Sorry the pictures are not too great but I managed to find them all together and will over time replace with more modern pics. If you would like to email me good pics of certain colours then I will change them around as I have time. |

This is absolutely unbelievable!! How many beiges do they need??? And 2 whites? A million browns? I suppose it's good to have the choice when new. When we're looking at 190s we don't bother about the colour any more. It's just 199, red, white or "other colours". |

I didn't realise there were so many colours avaialble either. The Avantgarde Red must surely be a rare shade.

Fascinating post, top marks! Some nice examples on there, a lot of sportline spec cars and I spotted a couple of avantgarde interiors as well. Nice to see another Nutria on here....

Great post. Michael - I have the Avantgarde Red, looks awesome, I believe it was used on the LE models along with Avantgarde Blue. Hopefully will get some pics up shortly. |

Great post mate, it really is. But i cant find 199 (blue/black/greyish, e.g the picture below), the colour of mine and lots of other members. Is the second 040 meant to be 199? Because also the cosworth wasnt made in 040 but was in 199?  Edited by Bart707, Sat Jun 20, 2009 1:12 pm.

You're right Bart, the colour in the second set (Blauschwarz) is the colour of your car, it should have the code 199. |

Cant believe they did so many shades of beige and cream! In my opinion they are colours designated for interior walls not cars! |

Djeez, this is just a ripoff of Marc's 190-page: http://freenet-homepage.de/m-arc/br201/lacke/farben.htm Should have at least credited him, or linked to it or something! And for those who think "well, maybe Marc ripped it from this forum", notice the picture of my car (Surf Blue RZ22152) with thanks to me for it. It's a loooooong time since my car looked like that.

I hadn't seen that page before - and I actually said in a post further up that most of the work was copying and typing the entry with credit going to original posters of the info, I got most of it from other MB forums, which may have linked/copied from there. I don't care who gets credit for it - it's just a useful resource. But that sight is actually a lot better and has them nicely grouped - good job to him .
