CL facelift confirmed

Just got off the phone to a friend who works for MB Germany. He is the head 'buyer' for their used car.

He confirmed to me that the current CL will receive a front end facelift in September. No details of what is being changed though, just from the windscreen forward he said.

Matt.

When do you think that you can let us know what the changes will be to the 03 CL?

I am wanting to know if I should wait or not.

Thanks

As far as I know, the front fender and clear front lights (same shape and size, just clearer than now) will change. Thats about it on the exterior. Not sure about the inside yet.

The only major change is the 55 engine for the AMG version.
