If anyone have a few used ones on the go then I'll happily pay you for them.
Mine look more like grey then black.
The plastic material degrades with time, not only do they turn grey but they become pitted. For those that you haven't lost (Trikey or maybe it was Arctic suggested) you can cheaply renovate any intact old ones' - give the flat head a good rub down with fine wet and dry until smooth/flat; rinse and dry. Then spray with a coat of grey etch primer and as many coats as you like of semi-gloss black lacquer, should last for the rest of your cars life.
For those that have done a bunk, take a look around the plenum void, they also have a nasty habit of finding their way into the drain hole[s]).
