Your car ...

is not "designo". Brillant silver was not a designo color that year. But it's a great color.

From what I can tell it consists of special exterior and interior color, designo logos in the headrests and floormats and not sure what else. Hope this helps

Designo edition refers to special exterior and interior colors and badging. Initially for SL models there were only two colors called "Black Diamond" and "Slate Blue" Designo editions, but I've seen SL's with "Mystic White" and "Espresso" Designo colors. In 2003 they had a "Silver" Designo launch edition which was a $9500 option, and supposedly they only make 1500 of them. Nappa leather interior, Alacantra suede headliner, 5-spoke 18" special edition wheels, and Designo badged floor mats I believe are also part of the package.
