The plastic on one of my mirrors has turned grey and looks a bit old compared to the other side that was replaced a few years back when somebody knocked it off the stand. Does anybody know how to get it back to looking black again?

You can give the plastic a gentle heat with a heat gun to gently melt it which gives it its colour back

I seen that somewhere else about heating it hot air gun, would like to try on something else before doing the mirror also concerned how it will affect the glass!

Dont think the glass would eb affected, afterall glass is made at over 1000c. I would try some smooth peanut butter if you dont want to spend out, youtube it as its effective, should last a few weeks
