I'm wanting to get my mirror covers sprayed gloss black or possibly matt black or would it be easier to wrap them?
Wrap or get them sprayed

I'd get then wrapped, that way you can easily go back to the original silver if you sell the car.
As to some buyers black mirrors on a car that's not black just look, well black and reminds them of the black non colour coded mirrors that used to come on base model poverty spec cars, although some people might like it, but if selling to a car dealer they would certainly prefer them to be body coloured

a guy at work painted his Punto caps red to imitate the Abarth version but they started to go pink in next to no time and now they're just ragged and scruffy, white patches with a hint of red.

Questions the decision by Seat to put the Black mirrors on my 280 then? Knew i shouldn't have bought poverty spec!!
Don't worry, i get your point. I would be amazed whether most dealers would notice to be honest, especially if you were trading the car in.
but the 280's are Piano Black not bin liner black
Hi. I found a seller of eBay selling mirror caps painted to your paint code. Seem reasonable price although I don't think I want to know if they aren't. This way you keep the old ones and replace them later and sell these if you want to go back.
can't post a link as not enough posts but search for Seat Leon mk3 mirror.

a link isn't necessary. ebay shows an item number, usually half way down a listing, and it's usually the 12 digit number at the end of the url - that number can then be used in the item search box

I've spoken to two local and well regarded vinyl wrap places and surprisingly both have recommended that mirrors should be sprayed where possible. The wrap apparently won't last as long and be as well finished as other, flat surfaces on the car.
It's actually cheaper to buy a set off ebay which come pre-sprayed anyway. So no problems returning back to original colour if you keep your the covers in a safe place as per Diesel184's comment ^^^

wrap will always last longer than paint, ive had mine done for over a year and its still there...
but that ebay deal is a steal so Id go with that if i was you
