Thanks

Here's a few examples:

My preferences would be to either leave it or just part paint and leave the central section black, either way it looks great anyway so you may as well just get one (while your at it you may as well get the splitter, spoiler and side skirts!)

I debated the same thing recently, but now I've fitted it unpainted I've decided it looks too good to change it!

After seeing that thread i think glossy black might look the best on my MG when i get it, but im going to do the mirror caps aswell. So it will all match.

I'm honing in on the black centre and blue sides, but still keen to see a full Estoril blue version, anyone done it?

The 4th pic in the thread d4springer posted shows it, albeit through a glass window.

I would definitely leave it unpainted as opposed to gloss but I can't make up my mind about body colouring the two ends or leaving as is....hmmmm....

It's taken this long for an F30 one to be available so will probably be a while yet. You could try asking the ebay seller.

That diffuser looks like it fits differently between the left and right side? Just under the reflectors... Or is it the light?

I've gone for matt black on my MG, yet to see the bloody thing in real life though!

Was expecting tomorrow but that may slip to thurs - which means I won't get it till Monday as away this weekend. Bummer!

Happy to post pics when I get it, I couldn't find many good pics of MG colour with m performance full trim and side skirts etc

For what it is worth, on BMMiniparts.co.uk you can get the OEM diffuser, and any other m performance parts, cheaper than dealers as stand alone parts. I think 360 ish for 335i one which I know is more than import, but better than 430 my dealer quoted. I originally accidentally ordered one for a 320 which was £280 so they do vary, he did me a refund of course

I ended up getting whole pack which dealer did a good price on, but the BMmjni chap was very helpful. You do need part numbers though

The parts aren't on his website, just email him and he'll get prices for you. Most of it between 10-20% less than dealer prices.
