Mine have gone pink so I'm thinking of attacking them with some cutting paste to see if I can get the red back. If not then it's new bumpers time!

I also have the same problem with the red stripes down the side and I don't think these are available anywhere anymore.

cant you just mask it all up then spray it all? sure you can find a decent red spray that will do the trick?

that red pin-striping tape is pants tbh, i used it on my grille when i had duals, and it just didnt look good enough in my opinion.

just give it a couple of coats of red spray... should look the bee's knees.
