Car is black sapphire with Red coral interior...
I have an opportunity-

1) keep it OEM ( sapphire black bumper as rest of the car, with grey diffuser from factory).

2) Paint it black sapphire as the rest of the bumper.

3) Or paint it matte black.

Whaddya do?

Mind you I matte vinyled all the ugly ass chrome trim and swapped my chrome grilles out with matte black too.

You can never go wrong with OEM.
Some people do the color matched.
Don't do matte black... Please.

OEM is in the pic above. Thinkin you're right Sean.. OEM is the way to go.

[TC_e90]

OEM looks good. bad with colors lol, always thought OEM was matte black or so they are dark grey??

[Dark_Knight_335]

It would seem so. Guess I'll have em put it as it was
It's an M-sport package, maybe that matters...? Contrast is good I suppose.

[TC_e90]

Contrast is good plus $$$ to spend elsewhere instead of painting. Can always plasti dip it matte black to see how you like it, if no-go just peel off.

[Dark_Knight_335]

Agreed. Bad enough I gotta pay for a completely boneheaded mistake. Backed right into a parking lot green guard rail WITH PDC beeping at me LMAO
Guess my car wanted a lil wearin o' the green for St. Paddy's Day this past weekend

Wait...I don't get it...what was damaged? The diffuser?
If it was the diffuser, I wouldn't mind an aftermarket one with fins, if you plan to mod your car. Otherwise, go OEM. Painting just that matte black on such a large area might look...odd...next to the glossy black paint on the whole car.

If the whole bumper needs a repaint, don't do just the bumper matte black. I really really hope you weren't considering that, and it's just a misunderstanding...

Goin OEM Stone...came to my senses just in time!
Any other way would just ruin the identity of the M-sport
