Holy Smokes! From FRANCE !!!!!!!
A very warm (and surprised) WELCOME to you! I cannot speak French!
I am impressed allready how great your English is!
You car is very very nice. Not sure if it's a 1987 or a 1988 - but i'd guess a 1988, only because they made many more 1988s, than 1987s
Your paint color is called "Atlantic Blue Metallic"
Your interior is Light & Dark Regatta Blue.
Hope you will stick around, tons of info here !
Again, WELCOME

Okay, because of the fact that your exterior mirrors are mounted to the door, rather than to the "A" Post (side edge of the windshield frame moulding (dark blue plastic mioulding) that would make your car a late-build 1988.
Your Dash Plaque # would indicate that your car was the # 789th built for 1988. (One needs to subtract the number made as 1987s - which is 479 - from your dash plaque, as 1987 & 1988s were referred to as "Series One" while 1989 & 1990s are Seried Two.
479 = 1987
1,015 = 1988
247 = 1989
065 = 1990
Total = 1,806 over 4 years _________________ Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.
