    Hi Guys,
    I am happy to say that I am a new Mondial owner. I just purchased a 85 cab with 22k miles. The car has the original paint and interior. I plan on doing the engine out service and having my mechanic do a once over to make it ready to enjoy. I am in southern California and would love to find someone with the same year to compare a few things. For instance, I am sure you all know this but my bumpers are painted in high gloss black and was told they should be a more matte finish?? If anyone knows someone with the same year, Rosso over tan, I would love to meet them.
    Thanks and I love this site, especially the Mondial thread.....
    Mike

    Congrats! And yes, you're correct. Bumpers should be a matte plastic/rubber, not painted.

    Congrats!

    I also have an 85 Mondial QV- same color and interior. Purchased with 21,000 miles five years ago and now have about 39,000 miles on it.

    WELCOME TO THE MONDI FAMILY!

    Im in Simi there are a few of us around the LA area but mondi sightings are rare in the wild!

    The color you want for the bumper is : SEM 39103 Flexible Bumper Coater its available at car paint supply shops and some part stores

    Hummm beginning to think that we should have a Mondi tech day in the LA area!

    Congratulations!! We love ours...an '84 that looks identical. Our bumpers are also smooth and shiny but I don't mind cuz they are easier to dust. Lol

    Chris,
    I am pretty excited about it. Just scared to drive it until the belt service has been done. Can you send me some photos of yours? Also can you do a few close ups of your bumpers, I want to see how they are supposed to look. Too bad you are in Austin, it would be fun to meet up.

    That's cuz you drove from Texas to PA and back for Mondipalooza. Hope to see all of you at the next one. ;)
