Differences between 500 SEC and 560SEC ?
Can anyone tell me what the main differences between the 500SEC and the subsequent facelifted 560SEC ? I'm predominantly interested in the differences in electricals and body kit etc.I know the visible clues are the sideskirtings but can those be upgraded ?
Thanks!
Thanks!

89` 500SEC "Black pearl"
There is also a little difference between 500:s and 560:s front fenders. 560:s have about two fingers "wider fenders. You can see it until you drive 500 and 560 side by side. also front bumpers are little different. 560:s have litte wider side chromes.

85 500 SEL
The seats, door panels, instrument cluster, sunroof, center stack and console switches, sound system, speakers, fuse box, and fueling system are all different. The 560 has the more advanced CIS-E fuel injection.
The 500s are better built, more solid, less goes wrong, and easier to work on.
