OEM Rear M Diffuser Colours?

jammy78 · 05-04-2013, 06:51 AM

Hi,

Do the rear M Sport diffusers come in different colours? My one was grey but I'd like it in black!

It's hard to tell looking at pictures, if there are colour variations?

Cheers

i was thinking of getting mine painted gloss black along with the front grills to tie in with the wing mirrors and door surrounds

they are all a dark grey...painting it black will work but satin black...not gloss

I think pre LCI come with a satin black diffuser, and LCI have a more glossy grey one

My car came with a satin black diffuser but I ended up replacing it with the LCI diffuser

Order a new one from the main agent like I did and it will arrive in any BMW colour for less than £100. If you are not sure of the colour give them the car reg. and they will sort it.

Didn't like the grey either and wanted black.
So I bought a tin of plasti dip for about £10 and was the easiest thing to do.

Colour turned out well and it's held out with no problem at all.

Don't know if the E91 is different to the E90/2/3, but when I had mine wrapped (gloss black to match the spoiler and roof), the recessed bit above the diffuser is part of the upper bumper, and is a different finish, and the wrapper said he wouldn't do the recess as it needed to be flat and primed. So that bit is basically "unfinished" - not a problem if you're priming/painting all of it though.
