Easy peasey to do.
i'd say
T-Cut
Polish
Wheel trims added
Back to black/bumper treatment
Also added in vast quantities to the arches
This is why i keep my car highly polished and clean as a clean well looked after car looks soooo much better!!

mine looked like that when i bought it, excpet not as faded and it took me about maybe 10 or 12 hours in total to get it looking like it does now, involved some serious Tcut work, 4 hours on the boot alone i think cos that was the worst area.
Good work mate

Wash the car first obviously let it dry
used rubbing compound first u can get this in any car shop for £4 a tinn and that will last for ages
the wax is called Mirror Glaze its used in the boat industry mostly the help a new fibre glass boat to realise from the mound it is made in
apply it with a cloth take it off with a towely type cloth and shine it with an old teeshirt no buffer needed at all.
as u can see in the first picture the wheel arches are nearly white
firstly get some white spirit and rub all the plastic parts to get and crap off them
then back to black £4 an tin works perfect
and then a set of hoodcaps £15 in the market.
as for the bit i missed down the bottom of the bumper i knocked that off when reversing away from a high kirb
and the L plate....... in ireland your aloud drive on your own in the car when iff your on your second provisional dont ask me why but i wont complain.

should have mentioned stay away from them carwash places with the the power washers i dont know what chemicals they use but i went to one of them about 3 weeks after i done the wax job and when i got it home the car had white streaks all over it had to re wax it again came up great again
Car only cost me €900 to buy thatss about £700
