How easy is it to remove the front and rear bumper inserts to be sprayed looking to gloss black the faded plastic rather than use a heat gun

I used leather boot dye, ok you have to do it every few months but it cost £1.99!

Cheap boot polish from Aldi, the one with the sponge. Wipe it on, brush it with a boot brush and a little water and wipe off. Sorted ;)

Peanut butter works on some types of plastic but have to re-apply it every few weeks or so.

I use Treacle. Gives it a nice glossy finish! :hilarious
