The Black Bottom M-Sport package

Most of the cars and the configurator shows a black area in the M-SPort package in the back however, in some live videos with Bluestone, the same area is exactly same as the body paint... What am I missing??

It's black if you select the shadowline trim.
Otherwise it's grey

Sorry just saw you are talking about the rear part. I thought you meant the fender vent

The diffuser is a very dark grey. It's not paint in body color.

Forgive my lack of automotive jargon. However, in many videos there's a well observable difference between a black diffuser on white alpine models and one with bluestone one. Black is more Matte dark while. On bluestone is more of metallic shining all be it slightly darker then the actual paint.

Parts system only lists one part for them all.
Any colour difference is an optical illusion or camera effect

Nope it's the light and contrasting paint colors playing tricks on you. Same part and looks to be same color as f10 msport diffuser.
