Very, carpets coming out tomorrow, going to see about getting rubber matting instead.

Top tip for rejuvenating and re-surfacing ABS plastic panniers ....... Hot air gun , get the distance right , not too close and keep it moving across the surface until the colour changes and darkens :cool:

Result :)

I tried reshaping a twisted front mudguard for my zzr1100 with a hot air gun once, yeah didn't end well, turns out not enough heat+Excessive amount of brute force=lots of razor shape pieces of plastic shooting past my face at high speed. :(
