Arrow Diffuser Colour - what do you think?

Just had a rear M Sport bumper sprayed for fitting to the E90 and the diffuser was needing a respray, didn't tell them which colour to go with but it has been sprayed a greyish tone...

What do you think?

Should I keep or spray darker?

Difficult to tell given the lighting however I think the OEM standard is quite a bit darker - depends on the look you want?

What colour are the wheels?

I do like that but with your black grills etc I would have done it black.

I'd definitely go darker then i.e. same colour as the wheels or black as per the previous response.

Personally i'd prefer it more darker. The OEM colour is a standard off black colour (kind of like the really dark grey on Lexus' i think).
