Removal of 2023 230i rear diffuser

Just purchased a 2023 230i and I want to have the rear diffuser painted gloss black to match the rest of everything on the car.
I tried to search but I couldn’t find anything.
Thank you in advance.

I've been waiting for a warm enough day to do mine and swap to carbon fiber one.



Check out this video to see how to do it.
There's 2 other videos on YouTube as well I've found.

And you can buy it in gloss black for around $200 from places like auto Id and other online vendors. Probably cheaper than painting it.

Yea man, there’s not much to it, but I had a family friend who works at a body shop and he offered to paint match it.

He said the trim was textured so he had sanded it down, primed it, and then painted it to match the rest of the car. He didn’t charge me so I can’t help you price wise, but it is so worth doing.

I love the way it looks now a lot more than before. Hope this helps!
