when was most recent facelift?

When was the most recent facelift for the slk? Was it 2001? More specifically, when did the sideskirts become color coordinated, and when did the side view mirrors incorporate the turn signals?

Thanks!

'99 Sport

The first colour coordinated skirt was the '99 Sport. I believe that in 2000 it was extended to the non-sport models. The lights on side view mirrors were in 2001.....I think.
