You can possibly get sand paper and sand it carefully making sure you don't sand the red bit and then polishing it with some metal polish.
Good trick is to get a pen/pencil/stick and wrap sand paper around that for working around small areas :)
good tip! ill try that tonight thanks
Make sure you use a fine grit, it will take a little longer, but it won't leave lines on it like a lower grit rough paper would.
Good luck!
I thought my cover was faded, will give it a light wash, if I can get a spare cover cheap enough, will get it powdercoated in yellow like the Spoon ones, then the Carbon Fiber cover will look even better!
