The bumpers alone would run more than a $1000+ to get here, and mount them on a car, with matching paint.

True many good Euro goodies on the car. But shouldn't be parted.

That would make it one of the very early cars imported to US. Official import began 1/2 1982.

Colour L 041 was only used on US official imports from 1/8 1982 to 31/7 1983... From VIN 85-C-900717 to 85-D-902500, no Euro cars ever used L 041...

EDIT... based on info above it must be a Euro car. Seems like import to US started with VIN 85-C-900717... Now, what's with the colour... ETKA states it was used only on US cars...

The ETKA is not the best source of information.

Soooo many fault find in there.

e.g.: My 90 TD's plate On the "A" pilar

Sticker on the rear lid:

My car's engine code Cy. 1.6 TD

813 782 in the ETKA : Engine Code JN 1.8 90 hp and 3gear automatic gearbox....
