Rear deflector

I want to cover the rear deflector or replace it (is it difficult to get to?) with a material that is similar to the stock diffuser that comes base with the m sport package. When I search online, I only find stock replacements.

Any tips/suggestions?

Just found this thread:

As long as much hasn't changed for a 2016, it should be the same process. Outside of painting, anybody know where I can buy a replacement?

Here's the parts diagram for the reflectors: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=63_1351

63147847165 - Reflector, rear left
63147847166 - Reflector, rear right
These are used on:
3' F30   (02/2011 — 07/2015)
3' F30 LCI   (09/2014 — 03/2016)
3' F31   (07/2011 — 07/2015)
3' F31 LCI   (09/2014 — 03/2016)

Seems like spraying with PlastiDip or a satin black that's close to the diffuser color/finish would be an economical solution. Spraying them white would be another option (Paintscratch.com, Automotivetouchup.com).
