I need a little help regards the colour coding of the front bumper / spoiler on a 2008 Tonga Green Sport.
My dilemma is, do I paint the entire lower front bumper or do I leave the flexible bit at the very bottom black.
Any info or photos of what has been done would be handy.

I'd leave the very bottom part (assume you're talking about the black plastic trim?) as is.
If it's painted, you'll see any scraps etc. Tonga green is probably dark enough at that level not to make the black trim stand out too much anyway.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I thought that was the bit, I'd leave that Black to be honest.

I would leave it like it is.

-With all those rediculous high speed bumps en high curbs in Spain, you can wait for it to be scraped in no time.

-The design of the RRS is to have the bottom part and then the pilars between the windows black.

-A good paint shop in Spain is very very hard to find!!!

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.

Now: 2016 RRS HSE DYNAMIC 3.0 TDV6

Yep - leave it black  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

To clarify
Colour code the part with the parking sensors - yes or no ?
Leave the rest, bottom flexable bit, the centre part & removable centre towing eye cover black.

I am currently getting a spare set of black door cladding colour coded along with a spare grey tailgate trim. Then if i don't like it I can always clip the original parts back on.

How about the rear end then?
I was going to get the rear end, the lower black part of the bumper with the parking sensors colour coded ? In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

YES
I would also paint around the edges of your front grill like my black one here

Grill "a must" imho

As others have said, leave the lower trim black... would look trashed in no time with stone chips etc.. RRS gone

Pi**ed me off a tad though, as it has also made me think about colour coded door handles as well

Cheers & thanks
