paint arch extension ?

Im new to this forum, so hi to everyone....
I would receive my first x5 2013 in a couple of weeks and im planning upgrade the weels to214 with the arch extensions.
The question: did someone paint them or it comes painted on some models. Mine would be black so just wanna know some opinions of how it looks better....
To paint or not to paint the arch extensions?
Many thanks for the advice ans sorry for my english (its my second language)

the arches on the x5 M-package and the X5M come painted, they look better than the plain plastic, if you want to paint yours you have to get a body shop to prime the first, I did it on mine
before


after:
