Lukas Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hi! I have looked at the US-brochures on this page and now I have some questions about the EA82 in the US: In europe, only the 1989 EA82s had colored bumpers like mine: How is that in the US? Do your EA82s all have colored bumpers? Or only some modelyears? As I said, only the 1989 EA82 had colored bumpers, all the others lookes like that: Greetings from good old europe Lukas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 The EA82 from (85-89) had the solid black bumpers with the blinkers flush to the bumper. Loyales have the colored bumper with recessed blinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 85-86 had solid black bumpers. 87-89 had the colored bumpers like yours. The loyales had the same bumper shape as the colored ones, but I think they were solid black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smpol19 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 My 89 GL has color matching bumpers, i think the DL's had the black ones and the GL and GL-10's have the matched ones. I've never seen the turn signals flush with the bumper like that white one in the US. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=837&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru_styles Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 just to clear up some things... 85-86 had the OLd style bumpers, which very few had the bottom half painted. In 87 the switched to the newer style bumpers nearly all got painted on the bottom half. ............ however, europe, japan, etc. did not get the new bumpers in 87. so thats why the old style painted are seen alot more overseas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 My GL-10, 1986 MY, has the body colored painted bumper. The RX does as well...1987 MY...in general, most are whats called 'textured' instead of black or colorless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 @ Skip: All Subaru Leone GL Station had those high roof. They were not called "Touring Wagon", but "Super Station" in Germany. Here in Austria, they were only called "Leone GL Kombi". The "Leone DL Kombi" had the flat roof. All Subaru EA82 and EA81 had those headlight-squirters. My daily driver in the signature also has headlight squirters. But the "Leone GL Kombi", as mine is called here, was only available ONE year with colored bumpers and high roof. Because the high roof wagon, the sedan and the turismo coupe was only available from 1985 to 1989, and only the 1989 models had body colored painted bumpers. And GL Wagons with those "Alpin-Decals" are 2 known in austria, so my car is more rare than a McLaren Mercedes SLR here:lol:!
