   Plastics on the car are faded, thinking of getting them sprayed either same colour as the car or gloss black, but doing the bump strip on the side silver..
   
   yay or nay?
   
   Thanks Sax-Pers,

   I was thinking Gloss Black Front and Back and Silver Bump Strip ?
   
   Seen it on a car before and my bump strips are in bad condition so could do with it.

   or try and bring the fade out of it, by applying trim gel, heating it all up using a hair dryer, rubing light amounts in once the bump strip is hot, let it cool, rub excess off, then repeat the process. Its cheap and effective.
