PLASTIC BUMPERS
I have just aquired a Renault Espace for a very reasonable amount (nowt). The only fly in the ointment is the plastic bumpers are starting to go
white.
Question; Is there a quick/cheap cure, or is it a re-paint/replace job?
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Nope. They are maroon, same as the body colour.

Raspberry jam? 
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

If they are moulded in maroon then t-cut won't help. The only way to do it is to spray them. To get paint to key you will need either to use
a suitable primer, or to give it a flash over with a blowtorch depending on the substrate. A paint shop should be able to identify; either that or
take one off an look for the material code - something like ABS-PC or PP suffixed by either TD or TF and a number, such as 10,20....50. The latter is
polypropylene with a talc filler (by %) which adds stability and strength
