    Refurbing the plastics

    Hi all,
    I'm going to display the car at a charity car show next month and the external plastic parts are looking rather grim, especially the roof rails, whats the best solution to get them looking good again apart from buying new ones. Would like to use something that lasts if possible.
    Thanks

    If you get it, practice a bit with the ratio of water to dye or you may have to do it again! Also, always for the skuttle give the corners a good clean first!
