I think it's better to leave it untouched, and if you do paint it... paint it the "shadowline" color. It adds a nice bit of contrast and visually keeps the rear of the car from appearing to stand as narrow and tall as it does.

Anyone paint it gloss black yet .-.

Gravity Autosports sells it painted gloss black (shadowline) for about 200 or 250 bucks (forget which), and painted to match a body color for 20 bucks more.

Nah, it make her butt look too big. It's the reason my 128 has a 135 rear bumper.

I bought a spare OEM one and it's being painted Shadowline black as we speak. Picking it up on Saturday morning. Will post pics before and after install.

I want a 135i rear bumper but painted + bumper is so pricey...

I think 1 color bumper + diffuser doesn't look as good IMO. If you wanted that get a 128i bumper

AlwayzUnce · 04-01-2011, 10:51 AM

i think gloss black or a carbon fiber vinyl would look good... if you wanted to spend less than 1000 bucks on the real CF one

Much more expensive to get a 128i bumper than to paint the diffuser.

A light colored car with a dark shadowline color looks fine, but a dark colored car including the LeMans Blue with the crappy gray diffuser. No.

Therefore, paint the diffuser.

Jet black 1 with Jet black painted diffuser. I cut out the center and installed black mesh which I painted myself.

Harlequin · 04-03-2011, 10:28 PM

Will fit it tonight and add some photos... I thing it's gonna look awesome on AW

Waiting for the pix.

Installed. Took about 10 minutes. Cost me $200 for parts and paint.

Both Diffusers - side by side:

Couple of pix. Sorry about the bad light. Will add some daylight ones soon.
