    Hi, fellow Mondial owners!

    The 6 screws which attach the grille to the front hood on my '86 Mondial are not color matched to the paint. As you can see in my photo they are shiny metal. Can anyone tell me if this is the way the car was originally built? Or should they be color matched to the paint? There are no Mondials near me for a comparison. Thanks in advance!

    They are flat black on my 83 QV, which matches the black trim against red paint. Same as the 88.

    Correct, they were black originally. Screws in other colors are witness of a respray job.

    They look like the correct screws, being a bit of a larger and flatter than the typical screw head. They should be a satin black, Wurth black trim paint seems a very close match to the factory satin black on various parts of the car.
