suzuki plastics are one of the easiest to do. i had a PE rear fender that was half white and crusty and i was almost going to bin it but i just thought i would see what i could do with it. I got it all back yellow again and its at least a good useable spare rear fender i can use instead of my new one.

Why don't you just go to a suzuki shop and buy new ones?
