Very nice. So you are planning to paint the diffuser to exact match the wheels or what?

The bottom of my car lightly scrubs a big hump in my driveway unless I take it diagonally.

Nice shots. Very attractive. The wheels really do justice to the beefy build of the 1er. Perfect pairing for sure.

Verts are not my cup of tea(any brand) but for some reason this one looks very very good.

I'm thinking about gloss black with the center inset piece matched to the wheels, but i may just keep it gloss black.
