Colour-code them and stick them back on. I personally don't like Cs without them it makes the doors look to big.

Have u got a heat gun? Just go over the faded area with it, it works, I did it last weekend after trying to polish is for hours!! It doesn't damage your paint or anything either, if u aint got a heat gun, use a hair dryer but it takes longer

what does the heat gun do to the paint to make it the same shade as the rest of the car then ? Do you not mean use a heat gun to remove the bump stips ? I also tried to remove the bump strips but it left a different colour underneath so i stuck them back on
