You need to restore the gray on your Snowplough ?
U-Pol Plastix gray paint will probably be the best option IMO

The ploughs are black plastic with the grey finish sprayed on. When scuffed they show through black
The facelift Mk1 SR bumpers were the same.
You used to be able to get the correct colour paint from Vauxhall but I'm going back to the late 90's when I had my SR.
i coulda sworn the only damage to mine when i drove into a rock was broken clips, was 5-6 years ago, oh well im not gonna argue with you about plows lol
I remember Vauxhall still doing the bumper colour in 2002/3. I guess it depends which dealer you went to.
Your Sport looks great above mate. Nice Integrale too. Does that plate say 'Full Cruise'? lol

no lol hull cruise, not part of them just paid for my car on their stand at the hull car show haha, and i was speaking to the guy with the intergrale, he said its runnning about 260-270 at 1.5bar boost but if he turns it up he will get around 320 i think its for sale too, he wants 12k for it lol
