CLK320 Final Edition Specification?

[Brett]

I've just traded my W211 E-Class Estate for a 03/52 CLK320 Final Edition Cabriolet. It is finished in Jasper Blue with a Blue hood, black leather and alcantara interior, with COMAND, Parktronic, Electric Memory Driver Seat, Heated Front Seats, AMG alloys, and 6-CD Autochanger. Only thing missing that I'd have liked was Xenons, but I am investigating retrofitting them.

Onto a question though. Does anyone know how the Final Edition specification differed from the Avantgarde? Some differences that I have noticed are the alcantara inserts in the seats and door panels, chrome trim around the dials and Final Edition badge on the side of the car. Where there any other differences?

I used the Russian VIN decoder site and the only thing it had on there that caught my attention was 488 sports tuning, but I am not sure whether that is a red herring or not. Either way, I am pleased with the car and it certainly feels quicker than my E320 Estate was.

Oh yeah, it has a factory fit Nokia 6310i phone kit as well. I knew there was something else...

Got this from someone within DC, if anyone is interested. It is the original dealer bulletin about the Final Edition Model:
