Performance diffuser E90, question?

Can someone tell me which of these I would need, would I need both or would I need more as well? I can't work it out. Cheers

The first link is the complete kit,second link is I believe,just the central smaller piece.

You'd be better off finding the part no's for both parts that make up the kit,and then buy them seperately from either the dealer or:

www.bmminiparts.co.uk

You need items 9 & 10 from the link below:

Based on the price,yes,it should be the whole kit (2 pieces).

The kit you've highlighted comes primed ready for spraying.
The central smaller part is not designed to be painted,this of course is up to you.

DON'T buy the kit,buy both parts individually,the saving is a LOT!

Thanks for adding the link in your first post. I'm going to speak to the paint shop in the morning and check he'll take delivery then pull the trigger on one of these. He can fit it at the same time as he fits my new front bumper. Busy winter of buying/modding for me

Well, I think it's £267 off ebay for genuine part and after what I've looked at on the forums/google I shouldn't need anything else. I will ring Stratstone Chesterfield tomorrow to confirm then probably ring Sytner Sheffield and try for the e90post discount. I'll let you know how I get on.

Part here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Perfor...item2c6c7e32ac

Part No. 10 is the Carbon cover (I think) which is not required (by me anyway) so fingers crossed I won't have to shell out anymore than this with the exception of painting and fitting

for £267 on ebay your buying the main diffuser alone and you dont get the centre trim or the end corner pieces needed.
the corner pieces alone are £86 which you need or your left with holes on each side.
The top centre trim can be used from your old m sport bumper.

In the listing it says it comes with the 2 corner pieces (small text lower down) so I think £267 is the lot. Not had chance to ring BMW yet as I'm delivering Mothers Day flowers :

I think it would be cheaper if ordered from Germany depending on tax might get a quote off bmminiparts apparently it's cheaper to buy if you buy separately
