The door pockets on my Willy are (as usual) all discoloured from the sunlight. I read on the forum a while back that Halfords Plastic Bumper Paint worked really well.
Do I need dark or light grey? I guess light. I can't find the original thread any more.
I've got some in the garage as I recently did mine. I was going to say I could post the code/photo/colour etc but as you're local, why don't you just borrow mine as there's loads left!

There's a couple of detailing companies make stuff that restores bumper trim without dye or colour. That should work as an alternative.
Light grey:

Looks good.
Did you sand or primer before painting?

Cheers p4acks, and thanks for the offer. Halfords is closer than your house so I just bought myself some.
The instructions on the can don't mention primer. And it is plastic paint...
No sanding, no primer, just cleaned them thoroughly before painting. I painted them using about 4 light coats of the spray paint.
I just bought a mint set off a 1998 R reg clio RT from the scrapper for £10. They're exactly the same! easier than painting
