Polishing The Number Plate Housing

Hi Guys,

so having recently just installed my parking camera, I had a true comparison of how aged the other plastic is on the number plate housing. The plastic is a rather dull yellow colour, and it could do with sprusing up! I dont really want to have to fork out any money on a replacement (some on ebay for £13) I would rather try and polish it up myself, but the big question I suppose is this... Can you?

I dont quite know if the discolouration is inside, or outside on the lens. and I am not quite sure how to work on such a small area without tools.

So if anyone has any thoughts, please let me know!

    Toothpaste or Brasso.

    Mildly abrasive but won't scratch the lens.

    Toothpaste was how I was going to head actually Clive (got more of that, no brasso :() so I think I will wash it first with soap and hot water, then give it a go over with toothpaste and cloth!
