1600 & 2000 back grill color

Post by Pjackb »

Couldn’t find the quick Stupid question thread anymore so have to create a new thread

I know the back grill should be black On both 1600 and 2000 but wondering if I should do flat, satin or gloss Black
what have people done and what looks best ?

Thanks

Scroll down to the last topic on the discussion topics to find the Quick "stupid" topic

Flat or satin would be my choice.

When I got my 67.5 the car was two years old and the back grill was flat black.

I always thought all 3 were the same but this is still in the factory box so probably about as period correct as we're gonna get....Unless of course they changed something mid-stream which NEVER happens with these cars :wink:
