    I was cleaning my car yesterday and noticed a wee mark on the top of the rear wheel arch, tried to clean it off and ...yikes...it's left a kind of light scuff mark, any of you guys know how to restore the colour of the plastic trim, i've tried back to black and tyre slik to no avail, thanks chaps.:(

    if its an actual scrap in the plastic caused by a stone or something/ someone brushing past the trim all back to black etc will do is make it shiney, dunno if you would be able to take a scratch out the plastic.

    Check with your dealer as far as I remember the plastic trim for round the arches is pretty damm cheap so you could maybe replace the damaged section of trim

    It aint too bad Mac, i thought it was a little bit of bird crap and musta rubbed it a little too hard, it's about 30mm in Diam., but you know it's there, might check out the cost and weigh it up, thanks.
