MP diffuser paint scheme

Estoril6rod · 02-10-2018, 11:32 PM

Looking to see if anyone can share a pic of an MP diffuser with only the center "finned" area painted body color and the rest left matte black.. no luck so far searching the forum

Thanks!!

I can show you in a couple of months haha. I plan on doing estoril blue surround, center section gloss black, and lower finned section estoril blue.

I know it's not the same car, but the inspiration was how it's done on my co-worker's Mustang.

Did you ever get this done? Getting ready to paint mine and like your idea...

I'm getting my center section on my diffuser wrapped an anthracite color similar to the color of the stock diffuser. I'm leaving the finned section and upper section unpainted. I think it should contrast well with my estriol blue m235i.

Should be done in a week or so

Actually dropped it off to be painted yesterday, I'll post a picture once they're done.

Here you go, fresh from the paint shop. I won't have installed pictures for another month or so. The weather is still

Thanks for posting pics! Looks good. How much did it cost you, if you don't mind me asking?

If I ever pulled the trigger on this diffuser, I wanted to do what you did, except flip-flop the colors (blue where black is and vice versa).

I had the front splitter (also two-tone), rocker blades (estoril blue), and the rear diffuser done for $750 at the collision repair shop recommended by my local BMW dealer. Only took them a day too!

colour scheme looks good.

always good to see people going a bit different from the norm and following the herd.

MuskieFan · 03-29-2018, 10:35 AM

Wow I love that. I saw in the other three you got the front splitter painted also...car is going to look amazing. Looking forward to pics of th parts installed!

Yikes, my reading comprehension is clearly lacking. I thought that price was for the diffuser alone.

That's a great price, especially when compared to IND's rates.

DailySleeper · 04-21-2018, 09:21 AM

Bump for installed pics! I do have the IND painted rear deflectors and 3.5" chrome BMS tips as well.

I bought an aftermarket MP rear diffuser and I’m contemplating how I want it painted. Strongly considering the paint scheme used by IND on their website, but can’t find any good pictures of it installed on the car for me to hunker down on a decision.

Anyone with an AW with the diffuser just painted on the top quarter with the rest of it left matte black (like in the IND product page) installed? Please share pictures!

Thanks!

Anyone else have paint schemes they've used?
