Fwaza esquire: I think you mean heating the side ones up to actually remove them.

If you just want to black them up you can buy 'bumper black' or wahtever it's called which you just spread on, leave a couple of minutes and then buff off. Works fine,

AutoGlym Bumper Care (green gel) is silicone based, so whilst it looks ok for the 30 mins after you've applied it, it will wear off soon and cause the plastic to fade quicker.

Best option is to have them sprayed. Doesn't cost too much plus if you get other small plastic parts done at the same time, you'll never have to worry about white polish residue on unpainted parts ever again!
