Black SL55 with Kleemann effects, Black 911 Porsche

Structural changes?

Does anyone know if there are any structural changes from the SL55, 03,04, to 05? The 03 seems smaller to me than the 05, could be me though.

SL55 AMG

Nope, no different. There were minor changes in the UK version mid 2003 which included DVD Command and some small changes to the interior lighting.

SL500 2003 previous/ E350 2007 actually

As far as I know the changes are only in the internal systems not in the external or chasis.

Some 04s and all 05s have Ceramiclear Clearcoat Paint. Do a Google search and you will find a lot of spectacular information about this new paint that only Mercedes Benz is currently using. See a clean 03/early 04 side by side with a mid/late 04+ of the same color, and you'll clearly see the difference.
