Plastic Trim Dye

[davey sprocket 14]

The heat gun works on the side plastics yes, but Ive found it doesn't work on the front bumper. Im gona order a bottle of that plasticare stuff as mine are off the car at the min:).

 

Hmmm...that's interesting.

I suspect that the bumpers on the 309 (like koskev's) are actually a different plastic than the 205 ones, the front spoiler and all is moulded in one piece.

 

 

 

Its my bumpers that are the problem (as you can probably tell from my avatar photo!!), not too worried about the side trims at the moment.

Unless someone comes along to say it definitely works on their 205 bumpers, it'll be plasticare for me.

Quite alot of heat,needed to remove the red inserts as they were bubbling very easily

 

Very impressive....please tell us that this is not a wind up though......

....I'm looking at the overspray on the floor behind, it looks distinctly like the colour of your treated trims!!

 

LOL,well spotted Sherlock!!!!

 

Does the shape on the garage floor look like the side trims?????

 

I painted the small plastic trims off the rear opening windows on the 309 Gti
