What model CL ? 500, 55 or 600 ? With that answered I can tell you the full list.
In 03, all CL's got a midlike facelift. New front bumper, headlights, foglights, mirrors. The interior was also upadted with a new swich/button design as well as a 16:9 widescreen COMAND.
The 500 engine stays the same throught the line. In 2003 The AMG 55 got a Supercharger and the 600 V-12 got twin turbos.
Other minor changes were introduced as well.

The COMAND system can be upgraded to the 2003 COMAND unit but you would also need various trim parts as well as the entire wood center console and switch banks from the 2003. The cost of doing all this would simply be not worth it.

Were any of the front fenders changed for the '03 facelift? Would it be possible to put a 03+ front bumper and headlights on a '01-'02 without any body modification, ie 'plug-in-play'? Was the hood changed also?
Thanks
