Someone who knows if you can restore this? The protective top layer of the rubber spoiler has faded in places. Image

I would think the BMW boys would have some soloution. They commonly came with these types of spoilers ( from memory) I also found this which may be worth further investigation?

I think I've seen plastidip also mentioned?

I'm going to test the plastidip method. It couldn't get any worse.

That's a great transformation :thumbup:

It will be very interesting to see how long it lasts.
