You may also consider removable-peelable paint if you ever want to go back to stock...

Sprayed mine with rattle can for plastic - primed first and still good after 2 years
Even stood up well to stone chips.

If you buy Chinese off ebay you will take a gamble on a proper snug fit. If you go to a local BMW parts dept you will most likely get them for £50 per side with a wee bit of haggle (I did at Eastern BMW in Edinburgh). This option gives you a proper fit guaranteed. You'll get matt black slats and a gloss black surround on the genuine OEM product - looks great. Cheap Chinese will give you all gloss black slats & surround.
