I have just bought some black electric M3 mirrors, do I need to paint them Black or just polish them the way the come?
My car is Black by the way.
If they need painting should I get a body-shop to do it or attempt it myself?

They come in Black ABS plastic, which is just your normal kind of plastic, they will look OK for a bit without being painted but I would definatly match them up to the colour of your car.
You should be able to get a decent finish by spraying it yourself, even if you haven't done it before, just take your time. But if you dont feel confident take them down to a local bodyshop, should only be looking about £20 to do.

Id second that.
Plus, Id spray them while there pristine rather than putting them on - there only get dented with stone chips and have squashed flies ruin the primer finish otherwise
