Like many of us, we get rear ended and take the opportunity to have insurance pay for the mods we've always wanted but couldnt afford. Im dead set on the M-Tech rear bumper but im on the fence with the diffuser options available. The car is Monaco blue so theres a bit of concern that a gloss black diffuser may blend too much with the Monaco blue paint on the body

Heres the facts:

1. I have a Monaco Blue pre-LCI E90 335i
2. overall, Im going for a clean but performance OEM look
3. the diffuser will go on a OEM M-Tech rear bumber

Diffuser options:

1. plain diffuser - matte black
2. plain diffuser - gloss black
3. performance diffuser - matte black
4. performance diffuser - gloss black
5. performance diffuser - raised parts gloss black, sunken parts matte

Heres some pics of member's cars. I hope you dont mind me using them.

Thanks and I hope this thread help's others as well.

Thanks. Ive always felt that raised parts of the performance diffuser thats painted the same color as the car make the rear look a bit "busy"

I tend to agree, although I think it looks good on grey, black or monaco blue. That said, I think the raised piece in gloss black will look good too and the matte will give it some contrast.

Yea, ive been looking for a photo of a performance diffuser with the raised part gloss black and the rest unpainted.
