As above, get them painted in satin black :) Will look completely OEM. You can do your scuttle panel too if it's faded.

 

+1 on this. Real easy job to do the wipers and scuttle panel (mine was almost more white than black). Makes a huge improvement....

How on earth did you prep it? Would be a right job to do properly that!

 

I'm sure people will scoff at what I'm about to say but literally all I did was clean & degrease it thoroughly then satin blacked it. No plastic primer, no keying, absolutely nothing and it came out perfect. I hit it with an industrial pressure washer regularly and it's still as good as when I painted it 1 year ago, no paint flaking or anything like that - looks OEM. Much easier than trying to dress it with trim dressing.

 

Obviously I removed the scuttle panel to do the painting, otherwise that would make a right mess :D
