post recently on the golf forum discussing fading plastic parts

http://www.clubgti.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=29380

use a paint stripper gun, take the arches off and use the paint stripper on them the heat melts the surface and takes them back to black, they will stay like that for a long time too

auto glym bumper snot or even black shoe dye (u know the bottle with the sponge applicator at the top)

but make sure its dye & not polish otherwise u cant walk anywhere near the car without getting covered in shite

Do you mean the plastics are going white?

You can rub 'bumper black' into them. Will make them nice again.

Or do what i'm doing and paint them.

The wheel arches on my 1993 Sri Corsa are fading away. I have search for older posts and I can only find one where ajscorsa suggested to use a heat gun, has an1 tried it?
How long does it last the effect? Is there a better method? Sorry for all the questions
