I have a Silver 2005 BMW 545i and I just ordered my M-Tech kit from Umnitza, and I was wondering whether I should paint the diffuser silver, black or leave AS-IS. I value your opinion, so please let me know what you think. Just as a side note, I plan on swapping my chrome grills for a painted gloss black set. Thanks.

I have a jet black car and when I get my Mtech rear bumper I want to paint the diffuser matte black. I think it will look awesome.

I don't know what color the bumper kit would be when it arrives, so I assumed it'll be primed, therefore matte black.
