if they are the original grey bumpers, get a heat gun on them and it brings them up really dark grey and like brand new. Im pretty sure it works with nova bumpers, it worked a treat on my corsa arches

this is what it comes up like. obviously the bit on the right is just after heat gun and abit of bumper shine

The heat gun trick works very well. Top tip though, once you've warmed through the plastic spray it over and wipe with WD40, do it a few times. Helps get the plastic darker, then treat with whatever you favourite tyre/bumper gel is.

Only downside with peanut butter is you get random dogs licking your bumpers in the street lol

Quick get on the 'scene' sites. Sort the 2011 look - "'nut buttered out", screw rat look. Dog ruff is where it's at....

Apply once, after a few weeks/washes it will fade, apply a second time and it will last a few months, each time you apply it last a little longer.
