Hi,

I have a 335D and i am about to buy the performance diffuser for it. I know that i want the main upper piece to be body colour (Sparkling Graphite) but cant decide if the rest should be matte black like it comes, or gloss black. Here's a pic as a starting point: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=663

P.S if you could make the exhaust tips chrome then that would reeeeally impress me.

Thanks

they look best in body colour including the little pieces, ssdd do a very nice carbon cover for the centre piece for about £150

Anyone?

I can photoshop stuff, but black is black!
You can't really differentiate between matt and gloss very easily if at all.
The only thing you could really do is lighten all the black bits on that photo to make it look body colour

I want to see the grey/black plastic looking bits on that diffuser as gloss black. Can this not be done?

You could make them a bit darker so they look black.
Think about it, how would you try to draw gloss black?
You can do a lot in photoshop, but not the impossible

I've never used photo editing software before so am pretty clueless! I just thought there might be a special effect which you could make the black shine a little bit, to make it look like gloss.

Not quite what you was after, but my whole diffuser is gloss black (bmw jet black), matches the shadowline trim and front performance grilles nicely. The centre trim is Matt as I'm getting the carbon cover, it looks ok in Matt but gloss middle trim would look better.
