I like the look of the slightly darker one out of the car , not sure when I last saw an original non faded 50 year old grille

I thought the shade of argent was different between 70 and 71? Guess I'll just say you did a great job on all those parts.

I'll take a stab at it. 

the one on the car is the respray.  The grill that is loose is the original spray color.

To me, in the first picture there is a slight yellowing of the installed grill.  Not enough to ever notice except that it is directly next to the original grill and at a distance.        Could be computer and camera lighting. 

Also, the loose grill is far more likely to be an NOS piece and not be faded where as the car has for sure at least been out in the sun some in it's life.

Regardless the repaint is so close that I don't think many folks would be able to tell a difference.   

great pics Ola!

the lighter one looks more original to me, looking at mine in comparison.

this thread reminds me I need to drop off my grill and lower at my paint guy. picked up the argent kit last year, hopefully turns out as nice as these

I going to go against the grain and say they are both original...
