Performance Diffuser - Rear Bumper
Hi guys
I was thinking of changing my current rear bumper set-up on my Silver 2012 E90 325i Sports by taking off the stock light grey diffuser and replacing it with a Performance diffuser similar to that in the picture. I might go so far as to get the trim in carbon, subject to price. I guess my question is that in the picture the diffuser is painted white to match the car bumper - would I paint mine Silver to match the rest and how do you think that would like with the black carbon trim?? I have a feeling it would look dumb or at least wouldn’t stand out? Appreciate thoughts from anyone who has seen this in real life or just your thoughts after seeing the picturs…. Thanks |

The diffuser is 1 piece and just certain sections of the diffuser get painted if you want them painted (like the white car in the picture). The carbon insert is purely add-on I think. There are replica diffusers out there but just be wary of fitment.

Reps are pretty good. Bear in mind you need to do a bit of trimming on the inside (not noticeable) of your bumper to fit the diffuser (just as you would have to with the OEM performance diffuser). |
