p111ddy Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I remember seeing a thread about this somewhere but I can’t seem to find it now?? Well anyway im looking to sort out my faded and dull looking grill where the front wipers sit but I was wondering if anyone could give some advice of best products and ways to do it please?

Ric Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 That would be the scuttle Panel, tried some back to black or tyre shine? If that doesent work, remove it and give it a whack with some plastic paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 B2B works fine mate, i've used in on mine and it shines it up whilst giving it a bit of colour. A bit like make up does to a ageing woman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Mines a bit faded as well, will stick some plastic and vinyl conditioner on it when I can be bothered lol The wiper arms have also faded a bit, ideally need to take them off and spray them black again but really cant be bothered right now. Other wee problems to sort out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I didnt bother taking mine off, just laid a duvet cover over all areas (bonnet, grill and windscreen) and then sprayed away with a bit of matt black. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ads Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I'm sure someone has a Carbon Fiber one of these on here... Somewhere! Sorry thats not help is it really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I guess you have to remove the wipers first? It's one of those jobs I've meant to look up in the manual sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I just sprayed mine with Turtle Wax "Black in a Flash" from Halfords (other stores are available) Used it on my roof-lining I got from Jezzy too, and it brought that up beautifully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything special you have to do to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I thought I'd just check the price, to see how much a new one would be. £95 for the plastic part, £25 for the seal including postage, a bit pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
