Many thanks for the advice. Will bear in mind. Can you just paint the plastic bumpers by any chance?

Yeah you could take them off and spray them... then at least they'd match your car (yes ok not exactly but most plastic bits come pre-painted so its ok). As I say they should be black (well very dark grey) but must've lightened up over the years like mine....

Yeah black always looks great when polished

Mine's blue like a lot of other people's.

Saw a fantastic blue one the other day, R reg, nice wheels plus all the trimmings and had been lowered something chronic, it looked fantastic, especially compared with mine which looks dirty and cr*p! LOL but I don't care! (Well, ok I care a bit but not that much coz to me how it drives is better than how it looks, I can't look at it when I'm in it, can I?!).

P.S: If this was you - make yourself known!!!
