Pic Request: Unpainted MP rear diffuser (preferably on an EB 235)
Hi all, I'm looking for a basically 'straight on' picture of an Estoril Blue M235i w/ the primered (unpainted) M-Performance rear diffuser so I can photoshop my options.
I'm trying to figure out what parts I'm going to paint.. I feel like the whole diffuser itself is a too big, so I many not paint it at all (a), or paint the whole thing except for the little part in the middle between the two exhaust tips (b), or just just the upper part of the diffuser (c?). A is a good picture, but it's aimed too much downward and I'd prefer a picture like B except in better lighting and a little bit bigger. a) b) c) You can kind of see it here: |

Unpainted rear diffuser
Not sure if this will help. I have an AW 235 and I painted the diffuser gloss black. Hope it will help with your decision.

If your any good at photoshop and this angle is fine, this image is higher resolution.
In my opinion I like it in option (A) http://www.mycarportal.net/wp-conten...d-Image-19.jpg |

Thanks, yeah it might be a little easier to make it black instead of making it blue. I'm torn between either A, with it all unpainted.. or C, with just the top portion of it painted because I sometimes feel like the entire diffuser is a little too large. |

Exactly my thoughts. I mean, most people don't have the MP diffuser anyways.. but my idea here seems to be different than most others. I'm unsure if i'll leave the lower part the color it is (primer?) or paint it black. If I were to paint it, I think I'd want a satin/matte black.

Mines in the body shop today going with C , totally painted makes the rump look to big IMHO C compliments the overall look. Getting front done too initially was left in black but the colour coding looks better more finished, looking for an upside too as it had to go in for this damage repair

Some individual thought it would be nice to put some cosmetic white boulders along the grass verge (main road/ grassed area public highway) backed out from across the road and clipped one

I've decided I like it the stock matte black for now! I thought it was going to look too big in real life, but I think it fits in quite well.
Plus I've been using money towards other things at the moment. I just installed a BMS intake last night, and have put front color matched reflectors in, BMWMP shift boot with the old style silver shift knob (to match silver hex trim), window tint, and am now working on some H&R springs. |
