Tyler,

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I keep going back and forth between being happy for a nice guy and a great find, and being blind with jealousy.

My suggestion for a name is "Benzin".

In Germany, gasoline is called Benzin (which is derived from the chemical mixture benzine).

Brilliant!!! I'll throw Ben out there and see out it feels. When he misbehaves, Benjamin seems appropriate.

My '94 has a similar dark green called Malachite Metallic.

For U.S. market nomenclature there's only a couple of greens in that era - spruce green #249 and brilliant emerald #269. A lot of the Euro names get picked through the Russian website but U.S. auto paint stores generally don't recognize them.

True, mine is called "Emerald Green" in the US, Malachite in DE, and the green in the photo looks more emerald. My lower panels are a lighter green, not gray and for some reason I can't find the pairing/combination chart to see if Emerald Green came with gray panels in '95 (rather than Spruce Green).

I believe that the impact strips on the bumpers, as well as the entire front bumper, should be the lower-cladding color. Also, if the front bumper is missing the chrome strip on top and is an earlier version, it can be added with just a little drilling to make it like the '90-up front bumper.

Nice ride, and the 104 eingine is a joy to drive. Heated 'tex again, second one this week!

Crap, he's right. It does have chrome on the front bumper, though. How did I miss this?

Your license plate holder on the front bumper seems to be for a euro license plate.

Yes, I'm noticing that too. I think I'll get one of those custom ones and put it on...

How the heck did I miss this????

That's not a Euro bumper, it is missing the license-plate holder strip that fits in the center gap. standard US issue I'm afraid. There should be a hole in the lower passenger-side end of the flat surface for the temperature sensor to pass through in the late '87-up though, temp sensor should hang below it.

I have the American Plate adapter thing for it if you need/want it.

it's automatic.

Thanks, but in Kansas front plates are not required. I'm thinking of ordering one of those custom Euro Plates for the front as soon as I think of a name.

Help me out guys. Ben wasn't working.
