Got them from Sun Motors BMW in PA. They have an ebay store you can order from or just call them. I called and told them about there ebay price 96.50 for the grills and I wanted a rear trunk mat which they sold to me at 85. I may be ordering some more things from them soon.

I recently had a change of heart about my color of choice! I used to think I'd go for white when I pull the trigger, but last week I changed my mind so now I want EB...I saw one in the flesh and I was sold on it...so I remembered I'd seen this one with the painted diffuser and side mirrors and came back to check it out once more...

I had commented on this thread before, but I can't stress enough how much better the rear looks to me...the side mirrors look better too, but that diffuser makes a world of a difference to me...so so so so much bette...I want mine blue, and I'll paint the shit out of it as soon as possible!

Nicely done...bravo!!!

Good choice. Can't go wrong with Estoril Blue. One of my fav's back from my 99 E36 M3.

Exactly why I painted the diffuser and mirrors. Just looks correct this way.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I like EB, reminds me of the E36 M3! The M235i rears isn't the prettiest thing, and that grey diffuser just makes it worse...rear looks too boxy, too low, too wide...it just looks wrong, and the painted diffuser just fixes it all! Looks really great!

I've tried photoshoping some M235i pics I took from the internet, in various colors, and I get the same effect! At least on screen it makes a huge difference for the better! Can't wait to get mine!!!

You should do more photos and post them here!!!!!

New update. even tho the wheels is what stands out. I changed out the front reflectors for body color. Rims are the winter setup I was testing out.

Ok car is in the shop as we speak. I initially told them to paint the defuser body color blue like OP but now am thinking gloss black may look cool. Quick give me thoughts, I still may be able to make a change. Blue or black defuser in estoral blue 228i M sport?
