Better than Marcs attempt

I was told by the Autoglym area rep to heat up the plastic with a hot air gun ever so slightly then go over it with Auto Glym bumper Care so i tried it and it worked it also locked in the gel so they stayed black for longer

back to black does a fairly decent job, can get it from halfords. Fairly cheap. Doesnt last too long tho, they soon go grey

Doesnt really need lowering, ride and comfort are more important than looks.
