Pre 2002 bumpers were Grey.
 
So I'd probably get a nice mottled effect if I used it on mine?
Might try it somewhere invisible first.

my vectra had very dark grey trim that was supposed to be black but by using plenty of stuff on a regular basis i got it to shine very black
 
I changed all the plastic on mine from Grey to black - door handles un all. cost a bleddy fortune, still I was keen then!!

ok thanks,
I did it on the XMas holidays at the parents so hasn't had time to scuff yet.
All the scratches are older than that
