Question aux pros de la C5

J'ai vu des annonces de C5 et je n'arrive pas à suivre la différence des flancs qui sont pourtant du même millésime coupé ou convertible sur la même année la nervure est présente ou pas 

Vos lumières seront les bienvenues 

Convertible 

La "Body Side Moulding" était une option à 150$ sensée améliorer la stabilité du flux d'air à haute vitesse.

pour prolonger la question, j ai vu aussi que sur un meme millésime,il y avait ,ou pas une serrure coter passager ..(99,00,01)
je pense aussi que beaucoup de vendeur confondent milésime et date de mise en circulation..d ou peut etre la raison

+1 ,en plus, il me semble que les versions EU ,avaient ces baguettes d'emblée.

:blowin10: pour vos informations !  La Corvette est un sujet tellement vaste depuis ( bientôt ) 70 ans qu 'un détail est toujours à connaître !
