Keep M5 diffuser matte black or color match the car?
UPDATE 2016-04-10 I got my car back from the body shop. Go down for pictures.
Hello guys, Long story short my BMW dealership damaged my rear bumper and M5 diffuser and are willing to send it to the body shop free of charge. I have an M5 diffuser I painted myself with plastidip and I am wondering in which color I should get the diffuser painted this time:

+1 with the color match! How the hell did they damage your bumper?

maybe it was a blessing in disguise as upon closer look of your plastidip diffuser it looks pretty worn or is that how platidip looks? like earlier, color matched but have them paint the middle gloss black!

Go your own way, Color match!
I think the details of the defuser will be more apparent.

I would say it is difficult to keep it clean like many matte textured surface... I do not know how they damaged the bumper, I realized when I was home... I went back to the dealership and told my story to the service manager. He said he was not aware but trusted my story and agree for the paint job... I am 99% sure this was done at the dealership since I washed my car Sunday, went to the office Monday but park my car where no body could have hit the backend and after that my car stayed in my garage until the dealership appointment... It even seems like someone have put paint to cover-up the damage .... Last edited by Jayphil; 03-16-2016 at 08:47 AM.. |

The only problem is I am not sure the "glossifier" works well if I decide to go gloss black in the end. |

I figured that Jay! Well, with it being actually painted the details will be more pronounced!

I think color match really shows off the great lines.

They have a Rustoleum glossifier as well, and it works better than the crappy plastidip glossifier version |

Update: My car is currently at the bodyshop and I decided to put the diffuser color match to the car. If ever I change my mind I will use plastidip...
I also decided to redo my front bumper since winters have been hard on it and at the same time they will shave/delete my orange reflectors. My xdrive badge are also gone so this should clean-up the side angle of the car. Should have my car back for the weekend. Last edited by Jayphil; 04-05-2016 at 06:29 PM.. |

Update.
I got my car back from bodyshop. They completely repainted the rear bumper, diffuser, front bumper with orange reflector delete. I have also removed the xdrive badge on the side. I am very happy with the quality of the work, picture speak for themselves. |
