Iv'e been told I can use shoe polish on the bumpers and arches of my corsa, to "bring it back to black" as its faded to grey. Is it true? If so do I have to do any smoothing or anything or just do it?!

get an old piece of cloth (clean cloth) and apply like you would to a shoe.

If worried mate go and buy some back to black - works a treat the shoe polish and you only do it a few times a year.
