yes thanks for that mate but those parts were probably made from a cheaper lower grade resin and were not properly uv protected, mp parts are made with the highest quality epoxy resins and are lacquered to protect from uv so this should not happen,

UV wasn't a problem with the RS4 cover as it was under the hood, the heat will change it yellow or green over time.

But this look, groin grabbing good
