It was a medium blue( B5 ?) with white interior 340 console auto and the afore mentioned flat hood. Sorry it was a long time ago and before most people cared about fender tag data,,,,don't remember the grille color on that one

Thanks for the info and that seems to be the norm. Most people I have talked to that had early cars don't recall what grille they had. But I have not seen or heard of a black grille on 11/9 SPD or later A66 cars.
