Saw a very interesting 4kq yesterday on the 520 floating bridge in
Seattle, WA.

Car looked to be a "normal" Type 85 circa 1985-1987. A few things
off-kilter, though -- some obviously non-factory, some looked very
factory:

The non-factory mods:
1) nose grille horizontal slats painted body color (non-factory)
2) red, yes, red, corner marker lamps, front and rear (non-factory)
3) body-colored side mirror housings (factory?)

The factory-looking mods:
1) NO black mouldings on the upper bumper area, front or rear. Both bumper
   cover assemblies were painted full body color.
2) Color-matched door handles. This was neat.
3) And the Real kicker - the door side mouldings that are about
knee-height were not the black monsters with chrome tops like, say here:

But, rather they were small, maybe 1" wide body-colored mouldings that
were very nice looking.

I was looking for Tom Nas's "identify the audi" site, but couldn't find
it... is this a Euro 90q?  INTERESTING. Very nice.
