Id say leave them black as standard mate not keen on the black trims painted, but its each to their own taste bud so your choice. Get some1 to photoshop a pic for you?? ;-)

TBH if it's a black car i'd either leave them as they are or get hold of some smooth (GL?) trims to spray black  :smiley:

The trim is all textured, so it would be a lot of work to respray. 

I am of the opinion that it would look better with the standard trim.  The sprayed arches just wouldn't suit it, make it look a bit chavvy.  That's my opinion anyways.
