I'd say Kvasiny changed it 'through 1982 MY' than Sept 1981 exactly. And it happened not in same time. New tail lights came first probably, plastic bumpers later. We can find 1982 MY 105 GL samples with steel (less) and plastic (more) bumpers, as well. Black plastic side mirror(s) arrived for 1983 MY, on other models too.
