   iirc someone on here had them vinyl wrapped for around £70.
   
   Looked awesome! Other option is to get them sprayed, not sure how much this would be though

   70-80 pound for the paint if u do it yourself, its easy once you prep right.

   Does anybody know if just lacquering the bumpstrip would give a good effect? Would be much easier than painting the whole thing!

   It wouldnt have the same affect as if they were sprayed black, would just look like shiny plasic.
