I ordered a carbon fiber diffuser to fit on my 5er. My car is black in colour, and I would like opinions on whether i should spray the carbon fiber diffuser to match the color of the car, or whether i should leave it with its shiny carbon color. I am just afraid that since both of them are 'black' they will not match and look funny.

Diffuser i Got is this - http://www.ca-automotive.co.uk/varia...9Mjc1OA==.html

I have bought this one and have it for sale... because I had the oem M5 bumper installed when my car got hit.
If you're interested, I PM you a much better price than that...

It's with the OEM mtech rear bumper. My diffuser was bought from Schiedmann and the fitment was quite bad. I had to modify it a bit. However, it should be a "bolt on".

I've seen pics on the forum... I think it looks hot with the space gray!
