F30 rear diffuser advise

nik patel · 10-25-2017, 02:48 AM

Hi guys!

Just bought the M performance rear diffuser like the attached, should I paint it gloss black or just it matt?

Also looking to get an M3 spoiler, what are your thoughts on getting the spoiler also in gloss black or spray it in blue?

My car is estroil blue.

Black with the side skirt decals.

Leave it matte imo.

The M3 spoiler is a bit small, & the genuine MP spoiler is a bit big, but the aftermarket MP spoiler is perfect imo.

Thanks!
Can you recommend a good aftermarket one? I bought one from ebay and it was crap. It was a flexible rubber type so I sent it back.

Assuming that's not your car? Leave diffuser matt, get painted spoiler from Taiwan for £70. Was really nice when I had one on my 335d, perfect paint match.

Not my car, just posted it so you guys know what it’s roughly like

I would say paint it mate otherwise just look cheap plastic IMO .

I Had my complete kit painted in gloss black .

Think your right, the standard diffuser even comes in a gloss finish

Mines been left Matt black, it’s on its second car now. I went MP painted spoiler this time though and the fit is better than the copy that I had before.

Emotors3000 for the spoiler.

Personally I prefer matt black on the low down trim, gloss if its higher up such as grilles to match the mirror and window trims. But as always go for what you think looks best
