   not much you can do with the faded covers other then try polishing them with plastic polish.... most either just buy new or paint them. look fair with a matte or gloss black

   grottys not the word I'd of used lol gives the impression it's gunky/dirty. There's only so much things like back2black will do tho you can get nano products that will restore Gray plastics to black for 6months dodo juice supernatural trim gloss, Gtechniq c4 but these are quite expensive if you want to do it on the cheap get some boot polish on them

    I'll load some pics up later I did all the plastics on my306 s16 in graphite grey looked loads better than standerd
    
    Then replaced All the nuts and bolts with stainless steel items
