I have bought the M-bumper set and it's going to the body-shop tomorrow. Now my question for you guys:

Should paint the diffuser on my "titangrau" E61 in:

1 body color
2 metallic black
3 mat black
4 ???? maybe darker Grey metallic

Please help me with this !

IMO body color would look the best, I am not a huge fan of difference colored diffusers unless it's a flat black plastic or CF.

Ok, that's clear. I liked the mat-black option because it's something different, but the majority has decided and it will be in bodycolor.

Bodykit will be ready in 3 days (not 6 months ), now I have to find time to stick it on the car.
