Le Mans Blue rear diffuser by Gravity Auto

Jaguar66 · 05-13-2010, 12:12 AM

I contacted Gravity Auto Sports to paint a rear diffuser to match the body color of my Le Mans 135i. While the stock dark gray or Shadowline painted diffusers may look sporty, I think the car looks more luxurious painted to match the body. Many thanks to the guys at Gravity Auto Sports for the work.

^^ i must agree i think it tones down the sportiness and make it look more tame. Looks good but i personally would go shadowline cuae i like the aggressive look more...

But I consider my 135i to be a luxury sport coup, hence the reason for making it look less aggressive.

I painted mine satin black, but I like it in LMB as well.

One thing's for certain...........it sure as heck looks better than the stock, cheap looking ghastly gray diffuser.

Do you have aftermarket grills with the surrounds in LMB as well?

It is so close in real life as to be indistinguishable. Different light affects it differently. The last 2 pics I took with flash on. The color match is very, very close.

No, I think stock looks more luxurious.

You don't say.

Sorry, forgot that you prefer the chrome look.

Did you ever investigate replacing the Shadowline trim with the chrome?

I did consider it when I first got my car, but think it is a job I would rather not tackle.

It may the light or pictures, but the color does seem off. Interesting though, nice personal touch.
