Hmm very hard choice for me!

I'd say black cause it looks more aggressive. Black diffuser with Black tips

Thanks for the replies fellas,

It's a hard choice I was thinking white as everyone did white and it works so well as Adam has proved with his picture, but saw the black last night and it got me questioning it like you did Wayne. I think if I were to go black I'd get the tips powder coated black to match (or heat treated whatever would work on an exhaust)

I'm going to see if anyone else puts their opinion in too

For now here are the tips I've got...



But yeah keep the opinions coming on diffuser colour if you could

Thanks mate appreciate it, yeah I got them in the standard silver and painted them to the ferric grey, tinted it, m3 spoiler, cic conversion etc it was my pride and joy but an expanding work load, keen fishing hobby, and a little nipper meant I needed bigger so along came this one!

Well I've come home to the diffuser, just checking with the supplier if I should have received the black Infills for either end as he thought I should originally,

Here it is anyway

Those tips look good in that diffuser.
I think gloss black would look better than white.

Thanks Dann, I'd be going anthracite to tie in with the wheels if I did it I think I'm really not sure it's such a hard decision I have my painter literally saying to me what paint colour am I mixing

Really like the new tips. Even though the dark diffuser will show the tips off better I'd still say colour code it. You tend to lose the detail a touch with the diffuser being dark.

Yes think I'm swaying to stay AW now Raj, I think just the aggressiveness of the black caught my eye but like you say the white shows off the detail much more, should I go gloss black on the rest of it or leave it matte as its delivered?
