My Ride: 2006 530d M-Sport LeMans Blue
I got a Le Mans Blue M Sport, and have just purchased another rear lower bumper section.
I am going to Di-Noc Carbon wrap it and swap it over with my current colour coded one. Toyed with the idea of gloss black, but I reckon Carbon will look
Also, if I dont like it, I bet I can sell it on easy when Carbon'd
Will post some pics when done.

Have managed to get round to doing the Carbon Wrap.
BEFORE: (Satin Black with a Clear Coat)
AFTER: Carbon Di-Noc wrap
Just need to find instructions on how to swap over with the current Colour-coded Diffuser

I recently had my rear diffuser painted at a stealership in the colour code 'B27'. This is the colour that the new F10 MSport rear diffusers are painted. I was bored of the stock blue diffuser. The paint finish is a gloss and is so much better I think than stock colour. I think the rear stance is more aggressive and compliment the rear 275 Conti tyres well.
Photos attached. Thought welcome.

Hate to break it to you, but you didn't get it painted at the stealership. They drove your car to a local paint shop, paid them $200, and charged you $500. They really take people for a ride with stuff like that.
