if someone had a knackered tuff 2 they could try a heat gun from a little way away from mthe rim , i know this works on some plastics used on cars i.e black body kits and them black plastic bumpers on m reg corsa's , if some ones got a knackered rim it would be worth a try but i wouldnt try it on rims i was gonna keep , in fact i may have a nose about in my loft i am sure i have a naff black rim i will try it.

None of the rims are cracked they are just really faded!!!!

Have heard of white ones been bleached and kash seats dyed black so been both ends of the color spectrum would be difficult to tell but wondered if this process works on Red ones!!??

I know what you mean on plastic repares with the heat gun!!! soldering iron works as well :daumenhoch:
