Theres been alot of these posts recently, as i've always suggested...give them a spray with some matt black spray paint....thats what i did and it looks fantastic!!
just make sure you mask it off properly and do thin even layers and your sorted!! its the cheapest way get two cans (£10 Max!) spend a day spraying and your sorted for a couple of years!!

I used boiled linseed oil from Focus and it's lasting really well, best results so far

It comes already boiled mate.
Just rubbed it on and then wiped the excess off and it really brought the black back into the trim and hasn't faded
