I asked same question. Was told it is painted a MG "shade" which personally I like on the new AW I have ordered...makes a nice contrast, tho some prefer not, and that's OK not to like it. But I think it is slate grey color as stock for all.

In looking at the other MG pics on here there is a slight shade difference that maybe you can't see head on. Maybe if I had the car in natural light I would've seen the differences. Regardless, I'm personally very happy because I didn't want the big plastic back contrast unless I was getting AW and wanted to contrast things. As much as was made of the back of the car, it looks fine in person. It feels like a e46 but a bit taller when you are standing next to it. The flares around the back wheel are more pronounced in person and should look really cool on lighter colors. It's just a clean, great looking car IMO.

Just saw pics of a AW on delivery. I'm totally wrong as that was grey too. Need Jason to delete my title line. I'll try and make amends for my misinformation by posting some bad pics I took today. Please excuse my ignorance gents.

Saw the EB 235 at my dealer yesterday too. When I saw the diffuser, I told my sales guy the factory forgot to finish painting the car. Looked like a diffuser off the factory line slapped onto the bottom of the bumper.
But, my wife liked it (and the side mirrors, which kinda match her Z4).

I have a MW X1 MSport and the stock diffuser is a dark gray and from every photo I have seen if the M235 the material looks the same and is the same color. It looks nice on MW by the way.

On the X1 the material seems like its a plastic polycarbonate and shiny. I assume the one on the M235 is plastic as well just a different type. At least it's really easy to keep clean on the X1.
