SSDD Performance Difuser - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

richk84 · 11-21-2012, 06:07 AM

Has anyone painted this black to match the trim around the windows and mirrors and performance grills if you've got them. I'm thinking of doing it rather than colour coding it. People opinions?

SeanCorky · 11-21-2012, 06:23 AM

I've not got one but if i was to get one i'd definitely have it sprayed gloss black.

P 5UML · 11-21-2012, 06:24 AM

what colour is your car mate?

id assume this would look better than leaving it plastic black which some people do! at least the gloss will match other things on the car as you mentioned!

if no one else has done it thats a good thing! youd be one of the first!

i got mine from teddy sprayed it body colour and it has the carbon centre to it!

Can't say for the e92, but here's a pic of a matt-black bmw performance diff on my e91. HTH.

I'd love to buy the pf carbon centre piece, but too paranoid that some thieving scrote may take a liking to it!

I prefer the matt black over colour coding it to the body colour.

richk84 · 11-21-2012, 07:09 AM

My car is LeMans Blue. yea defo thinking of gloss black to match the rest of the car. Just wanted to see if anyone else had done it. Would probably ask SSDD to do it and send it

Phil325i · 11-21-2012, 07:45 AM

I fitted mine exactly as received from SSDD. Matt black with a CF insert:

yea teddy's the man for these parts and his bodyshop are pretty good too!

here is mine, part from teddy but sprayed by my body shop!

and when its on...

P 5UML · 11-21-2012, 07:51 AM

OR you could...colour code but do the f1 slats in gloss black??

just a suggestion

AdamC · 11-21-2012, 08:29 AM

I say get it sprayed gloss black to match the rest of your trim. Love a LeMans Blue with black themed car.
I would love the SSDD performance difuser, shame I haven't got an M sport car.

richk84 · 11-21-2012, 08:53 AM

ive just put the black chorme exhaust tip on, just wondering if it would be too much black at the bottom, but the carbon would be a good contrast

sorry i had a link and it was TBA but thanks.
its cheaper from BMW at £250 inc finishers for the corners

Cyprio · 11-21-2012, 05:42 PM

Don't forget that the bmw diffuser doesn't come with the CF inlay - that's another £400 extra!

I could be wrong but I think the one from SSDD is carbon dipped or something similar - looks real good though.

Pave Dew · 11-21-2012, 06:45 PM

+1 for Cyprio's unpainted diffuser.

I fitted same on BSM tourer and looks great

Got any pics?

Nigelo · 11-21-2012, 08:13 PM

Don't know how if it'll help, but in my car thread I've pics of my rear msport diffuser in gloss black.

raf555 · 11-22-2012, 06:24 AM

Nice bit of kit

I got the genuine BMW performance that comes standard in matt black and had it painted to match the colour my car.

SA320 · 11-22-2012, 07:01 AM

Love the performance diffuser, but is too much for me to be able to purchase.

Do we have any eBay friends that knock up a cheaper one? Like they do the lip spoiler?! Can't find any
