Hmmm...might be wrong Shaun but I thought anything under the bonnet was semi gloss..eg booster and horns...but as usual I will stand corrected.

id be saying semi too for the grill. and would be hard to go off a grill thats been in service for 35 years surely like Orangelj said would have lost its shine expecially as on plastic.

Id recon same as headlight surounds and salxu1 has nos ones in bags still what colour are they Ian? semi gloss?
