quick overview but confirm it with looking at pictures of the originals as Dave suggests

the window surrounds are black and should be inside the chrome mouldings (plus the bonnet isnt black normally on SL or SS hatches)

pretty sure the the SS had black between the tail lights and along the lower panel below the doors

A9X had the bonnet in black but the hatch bonnet black out didnt roll over the edge and followed the line from the edge of the windscreen (was different on the sedan) also didnt have the black between the tail lights not sure under the doors...

Here are some photos of mine before it was molested, this is the factory SS paint scheme. :D Ignore the black bonnet the SL & SS never had it from the factory, it was an A9X option only.

Paul's back detail, 1/4's and sill panel on the black-outs for an SS is spot on.  The side vertical black went down to the lower 1/4 black and all black beaver along the back. The front door handles on the SS hatch where chrome in standard form to match the stainless window mouldings.

 

There is a thread with an unmasked (no rear bumper SS) showing that detail. All very secret squirrel club stuff and I am told you must memorise the Torana secret handshake and have passed Asio, Fbi and Cia security checks before too much information is revealed.  :stirpot:

Mmm, just noticed, Mick's doesn't have a black bum or black lower rear quarter sills.
