They are not located somewhere where they would be expected to fade, also if the hidden surround that sits behind the bumper and the exposed parts don't show a colour difference, no fading. The black on the vertical fins might be a bit grey after 20 years but that could be touched in. 👍 Close up pic attached - it's interesting that the vertical what appear dark grey / satin black fins have faded a lot, the horizontals have but not as much - the oval surround you can see still looks titanium coloured when compared to the arctic silver.

I warned you back on page 1 that I was getting nerdy. Sometimes a question just needs chasing down and it looks like we've got to a definitive solution and should an early S owner (you?) want to know the answer, now its out there 😀. Besides we've got extra time to do these things now even whilst WFH... now where's my razor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3.2 has the titanium (but with black vertical bars apparently). Your Ride is stated as a 2.5, so according to the research black is correct for the rad grilles.
