The-flying-banana:
Did someone not put up a thread on redying the same colour ??? think it makes em like new again without all the elbow ;)

motomagII:
thing is if your going to dye them really they need to be very clean so elbow grease still needed .then redye mint tuffs there you go .lol

graeme:
I know this works with black car bumpers, different plastic i know, but would probably work.
Get a heat gun, like the ones for stripping paint, and run it pretty hot, all over them. Keep it moving, dont let the heat build up in one place or they will melt/buckle.
It melts the very surface of the plastic and brings the colour back to exactly what they should be.
Anyone got an old buckled/cracked coloured tuff to try before he does his?
It works an absolute treat on black plastic bumpers, better than you'd think. Still need to be pretty clean, but its very quick when you get going.

2020mad:
