well yeah

the green (a lot like apple green, right?) is cool. actually your car is pretty sure to be euro since i have never seen a us spec car that color. also if it has the euro bumpers it is unlikely that someone did all that conversion work. the eruo bumpers would be a tricky conversion because of the funky rubber ends on the us model that cover so much paint. it is a place to catch water and rust not to mention the faded paint under it.

the euros seem to have a lot less rust protction so if your car is clean i would consider having it ziebarted. i have done this with several old benzes with good success. it even worked wonders on a california clean 115 that i had a few years back. we ziebarted it painted it and drove it in our salty indiana winters for several years with pretty good results.
