Couldn't it be 1993+? The door handles look quite modern...

What would be the key features on '93+ models then?

1. New restyling steering wheel:

2. All-Black plastic grill without chrome:

3. Colour.
In mid-late-90's (In 1997, actually) VAZ Factory made some new colours in their palette - metallics, new dark-blue, new dark-red, purple, dark-purple etc.
For example:
[Image: 28b1f6u-960.jpg] [Image: fdf3dc8s-960.jpg] [Image: 28_06_11-1.jpg]
[Image: 4877010185017054decd247d24581482.jpg] [Image: 92f6c6u-960.jpg] [Image: 29dc8cu-960.jpg]

But, if you don't know colours from original palette of 'Classic' Zhigulis - You, probably, can't edendificate late one.

P.S. Now we have the latest modernastion year is 1993+, but it's actually not right...
In 1993 nothing changes - These cars still have grille with chrome, old steering wheel, old colours, everything old.
The best year for our "1993+" Zhigulis will be 1997+, cause in this year was restylying of some elements of construction (Grille, Steering Wheel etc.)
This year we have now in VAZ 2105 and VAZ 2107 galleries.
I think that 2106 model should get it too = All 1993+ Zhigulis whould be 1997+.

1. The new steering wheel - no one in the site has not claimed that is after 1993. Оn the contrary, by the identification criterias of 130rapid, the new steering wheel came in the late-1997 for the all classic AvtoVAZ-models. These criterias are long before you came in the site. You just have not get acquainted with them.
2. All-black plastic grille is used simultaneously with chromed ones in the long period of time. On the other hand, after 1993 is mainly all-black one.
3. Most of the new colours are even after 2000, but in your pics have unoriginal ones, like in the last thumb.

The new wheels with circle holes (1997 for the 2105 and 2107) came earlier for 2106 - circa 1993 because of stopping of production of the old chromed hubcaps for 2106. Later, in 1997 these wheels starts using for VAZ-2105 and 2107 for unification.
In 1993 the interior is changed - old steering wheel, but black dashboard, door-trims, new seat-trims. Also new wheels and mainly used all-black grilles.

However, our pieces of knowledge about VAZs are not saint tenets. :sun:
Because lack of sufficient sources on web, that's the effect of simple but careful comparing genuine looking cars, year by year. However, there is one huge problem with that: so many cars are customized or repaired using newer elements, easy replaced, plug & play. Making Skodopedia & Trabantopeida year-by-year visual changes summaries was piece of cake because excellent web & books (Skoda) knowledge's sources.
Moscvich433, if you can confirm your propositions, we can modified our VAZ knowledge. It's never ending story still.

When I-Denev get me new info - i'm not sure in all my argumets of late 2106's as well...
But, the year of steering wheel was right, though.

There is some more info of the first years of simplification of the details and design.
This time, when the factory replaced chrome with plastic.

1. 1976-1983' chromed arches molding:

2. 1976-1984' chromed edging of the back lamps on fenders:

3. 1984-1986' plastic edging of the back lamps on fenders:

4. 1986+ no-lamps-fenders.
All info here: /vehicle_62992-VAZ-2106-Zhiguli-1986.html

5. 1986+ black mirrors, plastic doorstep molding.

Something from Izhevsk-Made period:

2002-2006' wheels.

(In use: /vehicle_153602-VAZ-2106-Zhiguli-2002.html)

That' a bit too, but can help with a identification of the true year.

Also, there is a very good colour yers resource for classic models:

All info should be right. Confirmed by lots of people.

^^^^^ That part of knowledge seems OK ^^^^^

Add 1985+ black wipers.
About black (steel) mirrors, after comparing group of cars, I'd say 1987+.

The fast research suggests rather 2004+. :think:
The most of 2002-2003 cars roll on previous wheels still, with small circular vents. You can find these wheels on later cars too, but Izh 6-vent wheels begin dominate on 2004.

Like you see, it's not so easy. :X

The excellent sources are manual repairs, old articles & road tests.
The good - adverts & prospects - because they contain mistakes (!)
