Please post pics of new old stock parts if you have them. Good way to reference for comparing original or refinished pieces or repro.
Examples
Old stock interior window chrome e9, 2000cs doesn't have the ribbed area.
E9 2800 badge note hollowed out mounting posts and bright aluminum anodizing.

here's an interesting hood grille; NOS chrome has two tone setup; satin on the sides, and shiny chrome on top.
Side grille is evenly satin all over.

Great to see a picture of this. It highlights that the part is plastic. There is no way to dip a metal grill and get the chrome to behave that way on the sides of the slats. See how the chrome dips down farther on the sides of the ridge. It is vacuum metalized plastic.

i do have a full set of hood grilles and lateral grilles, so 2+2, in orginal NOS condition, with the two tone chromed (glossy + satin), they are very nice, yes

BTW, not for sale, sorry
