Damn thats in need of tlc
Car = Tcut and a very good wax/polish then probably do it all again lol
bumpers = Black to black wax stuff
Tyres = wet tyre shine stuff
go halfords and get it all, i used have a red and needed waxing and tcuting every week, i'd put standard lights back on looks beter seing as you tried to colour code bits n bobs

Get it professionally mopped by a body shop, if you wax it and keep it waxed the colour should keep longer

Well everyone seems to have thier own methods, but if u take it to a bodyshop then you wont have 2 do any work  . Probly only cost about 50 quid for them to do it.
But if you wanna do it yourself... i'd advise this:
Use t-cut all over twice, or g3.
Using an electric buffer (only about £15-20) go over the car with meguires scratch-x. this will remove any haze that the compounds have left and give a wet-look shine.
Polish it with meguires gold class wax and do it regularly.
If your feeling really extravagent and want something even better than meguires... then buy some swissol. Only cost me 88 quid for a starter kit incl the cheapest wax they do :S. Still came up better than with meguires tho
