w203 05 vs 04 colors

well guys, i drive a w203 ss 2005 in ablaster white or whatever..

anyways..

i get to work at 5am and park in my usual spot and notice that another w203, 2004.5 with the same wheels as mine (different center cap) parked right next to me. it was white also.

funny thing is..

the 2004.5 w203 ss had a diff shade of white, did they update the white color for the 2005's or something? My 2005 was more brighter than the 2004.5, which looked more dull and yellowish. Side to side, my 2005 was about 1/2 inch lower than his, my car is still bone stock and the 2004.5 looked bone stock to me also..

anyways.. my point is.. did they change the colors or something from 2004 to 2005?

On another forum someone said the sport sedans where they same height as the non-sport sedans. So I went to the dealer with tape measure in hand and generally, sport sedans are about 1" lower than non-sport sedans but this varied from car to car, some sport sedans where as much as 1/2" difference between them. I found no difference in average height between 2004 and 2005 sport sedans. Colors to me look the same but could be the wax one of you put on.
