87 Coupe GT

[Steve Kramer]

Okay that helps a little - except the gt is black.  will the side 
mirrors and spoiler be the rough plastic black colored ones like on my 
89 200 t or will they be solid plastic types.

maybe if i get the vin number i could take it to my audi dealer and have 
them search the system for the model -  and any audi work that was done 
to the vehicle. that could work!

thanks for the info .
