    Hello all experts and others with strong opinions. I have tried to search on this issue without getting any good hints. The story is that my front hood grill is going out for anodizing but I am unsure about the color. When I bought the car the grill was black and tampered with (See picture), but the car has had a front impact so the grill has been changed / repaired sometimes in the late eighties. Should it be silver or black? I think black is a nice combo with the Prugna color but I preferably want it as it left the factory. It is a 1984 year model. Any input much appreciated.

    Silver would be correct. Its not just anodized. Its etched, the the trailing edges are polished then its clear anodized.

    I was kind of wondering if you were still with us, Paul!

    Thanks Paul. Silver it will be. First etching that will remove the old surface treatment, then a trip to my metal polisher for a polish on the edge before clear anodized.
