Its a Dominator "style" seat.  I actually bought it off the bay last week for £6 inlcuding the postage and they'd listed it as a Dominator, which it isnt.  Its actually made by Hsin Cheng.

Devilock:
Rub Crest into the seat using your forehead.

threaders:
The method your talking about with the sun is Hydrogen peroxide, water and and sunlight. Putting plastice in the sun on its own will cause fading and discolouration. You get hydrogen peroxide of the bay %35 food grade put 1/2 a litre in a clear container or glass container, top up with water and leave in the sunlight. Your seat will have bubbles all over it and when the bubbles stop, your seat will be white again (usually one to two days).
Here is a link from another forum about yellowed plastic :daumenhoch:

Trust me, they are all plastic nutters on that site :)

And to get any sun you will have to take it to the middle east which
could be costly  :D
