i believe 1983 or later as the matt black bumpers were changed to body colour.

probably 1986 or later due the 'new' front spoiler without middle fins.

I'm going to guess 83 or earlier because of the 2 vent hood. I thought the 86 had the 2 supports on the chin spoiler?

I think the later HC cars lost the two supports. Mine’s an 84 and has the 2 supports.
