The seller accepted my counter offer so now I have a diffuser for my car, lol. I finally got it in the mail, all the way from Slovenia, but to my surprise it's not finished (painted).

This pictured car is not mine but very similar, except mine is white. What would you paint this rear diffuser, on an Alpine white M Sport E90? Gloss or matte finish? Let's see yours if you have something similar, please! I have the same exhaust tips btw.



Thanks all!

So you would do matte gray, like a stock diffuser?

Take the opportunity to paint gloss black

CF wrap it so you get scene points.

I did mine like the original BMW Performance scheme:



Granted, mine is OEM and has the OEM CF insert in the middle. I had the bodyshop spray the whole diffuser in Space Grey, then bolted on the black trim peices and the center CF insert.

Gloss black or oem style

I agree with rick100. Paint it black like the stock diffuser was painted. If you keep it white it will blend too easily with the rest of the car and be hardly noticeable. Painting it black will add some contrast to the bumper and make it a little more noticeable and pronounced.

I did mine semi gloss black not matte but not gloss, looks just right.

I have a 335is, but if I still had my AW E90, I would have eventually swapped my rear bumper for an M Sport bumper with the Performance Diffuser and painted it exactly like factory. Paint matches the car and the unpainted surfaces are the Matte Black plastic.
