Didn't realise how rare it is till after I bought it.

I made a thread about it, only one other person said they have this colour:
http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=915653

Did a quick search and looks like the M3's came in that colour too, only found two though.

Well Stratus Grey is my new favourite colour!!

You're lucky you got your hands on it man!! well done

Thanks man!

I really like your car and colour too, I reckon it's next on my list after Stratus Grey.
You have Mystic Blue paint right?

I have something really nice planned for my next set of wheels.
Will still be a while till I get them though, unless I find a good deal.

Quick snap of my interior re-colour progression:

Are you using a spray Dean?

Some ***** reversed into my car last night and tried to do a hit and run but got caught.

Dean, are you just re-colouring an already worn red interior or have you changed the colour?

Just using a small airbrush, then dabbing with applicator sponge to get an even coverage.
Aww ****, who caught him? Hopefully didn't hit your new front bar!

Re-colour. They were black sports seats.
If anyone is attempting to re-colour, DO NOT waste your time with any other company other than Leatherique. I tried using Dynamix dye, and even after around 6 coats, their red would not penetrate the leather. Leatherique after the first coat looked amazing. It really is good stuff. We have a Leatherique distributor in Sydney too, he's very helpful.

Cheers mate, that red is looking really good going over a black base.

Tell me how it comes out! Might think about doing it myself.

Nah she just cracked the paint off it - so just going to get it resprayed and might get the bonnet and stuff done while I'm at it!

Thanks, yep, will keep you guys posted. I still havnt finished one seat! Its a very time consuming exercise.
Shook - ahh, thats not too bad then.

2012 C63 Black Edition with Track Pack

^ Nice, that's pretty much the only Mercedes I like. I would still prefer an e92 M3 though

Haha there is different meaning to "hard parking" - I was referencing to your awesome parking.
