nah mate, you can bleach them, but they are off white and will stay off white when bleached. i have wo sets and bleached them both and theystayed off white and one set was in for a week. Makes no odds, but you can dye them. bleacing wil bring them up nice though.sand off any brake rub and scrub clean before and after.

fook knows, i don't see how you could dye anything lighter than it's original colour but hey ho give it a go, i'm curious to see if that would work, do they sell white dye of any kind?
