Best way to to it mate is using auto glym bumper care, just use a microfibre cloth, spread it all around, if u get it on the paint work just apply polish mate, it will go bk grey about 2 weeks later just apply again, after a few applications it will stay black, only takes 5 mins to put on

Easiest, cheapest, and most long lasting fix is. Buy a bottle of the cherry blossom liquid boot polish from asda for 99p. Then just apply generously but evenly. When dry buff off with an off brush to get the exess off. Did mine nearly a year ago and havent had to touch it up at all and cos polish is waterproof it dosent come off when you wash your car (Y)

obviously thought boot polish didnt lower it, and gain morretes, cesaroes and smoked side reps. hope this helps

Always used to see this parked in weston, not with the cesaros on tho, looks better!
Sorry to hijack the thread! Lol. But I would spray the bumpers a satin black or heatgun them!
