Adding black trim front bumper/side skirt

So my car is coming in tonight to the dealer. I bought a new CLA45 AMG Black, with black wheels, amg exhaust, illuminated start, red calipers, multimedia, etc. I did not realize that it did not have the night styling package. I absolutely hate the silver trim, I don't mind the window chrome.

Should I have a body shop paint it black? Mercedes quoted me at 789 + labor and tax to add the night style front and side trim. Do you think Mercedes should at least order and install that trim for 750 the same as the package. I just bought the car and I don't think I should have to pay more and not even receive the full package.

What would you guys do? I don't want to cancel this car as it was hard enough to find with 99% of the options I wanted and i received a good price.

Thanks

Plastidip or vinyl it. Cheaper, you can DIY for under $50. Added benefit, it helps protect the surface underneath.
