    Plastic wing mirror surrounds

    Hi
    Anyone had any solution to the plastic around the wing mirrors? Mine should be black but they are turning slightly into blue. This is not the wing mirrors themselves but the plastic that goes around and against the door. I don't want to replace them but an alternative solution would be nice Maybe a trim restoring kit or sprayed gloss black....... Any thoughts?

    Some form of exterior trim restorer or valeting product like Back to black usually works well...have a look around your local motor factors or Halfrauds...they've always got a ton of possible options on the shelf. Thumbs Up

    I’ve got the same issue. It can’t be polished out because it’s not a surface effect. The UV stabiliser isn’t working properly in those parts ( like white plastic items turning yellow) They must be a different supplier to the other plastic parts on the bodywork as they stay black.

    If they haven’t changed the spec…replacing them will do the same eventually.

    The only way would be to have them resprayed.

    Think I will leave mine….and curse JLR every time I look at them.

    However…..I have ordered some of this …

    …to do some of the black trim behind rear wheel arches on another car, that have become a bit dull.

    I will try it on these blue parts and report back…..you never know!
