I didn't, and from what I have seen, the "normal" version still gets a "mini" spoiler and I *think* the spoiler option just makes it bigger/longer... The ones I saw without it looked fine to me (No plans to race it and needing downforce and stuff)... Then again, I usually don't like spoiler options in general, so I might be biased...

Well I've joined the list of those waiting for their F60 order. I ordered an Island Blue JCW with chili red roof/mirrors last Wednesday (7/5). So far only on the Ordered list, no build date yet. This is my second go-around with MINI ordering. Back in 2012 I ordered a Green Park Clubman S. It took a little over 2 months. The waits were frustrating and perplexing but it was also fun to follow the production and shipping progress.
I still have the Clubman. I'm passing it on to my son as his daily driver. I didn't want to let it out of the family. It is a great car.
By the way, the "spoiler option" is standard on the JCW. It is a very subtle spoiler. It overhangs the rear window maybe an additional one/two inches with a very slight upturn at the end. If you go to the MINI build web site and build a JCW. Go to the External options. Bring up the spoiler dialog. If you look very closely you can see the upturn.

Can't wait for you to pick her up! I only have at least two months left of waiting

I was fully committed to Moonwalk Grey -- same as my F56 has. Still love it, but oddly, Melting Silver looks better on the Countryman (at least today it does 😳. Got to settle on the color very soon, as it's time to order it. Going to do a body-colored roof for the first time.
Saw a silver with a sliver roof for the first time. I think it looks great. The black pillars make the roof look like it is floating.

JCW Orders delayed until September
For all those who have recently placed an order on a JCW Countryman or contemplating doing so, be aware that MINI has cut way back on allocations for these cars. My dealer has told me I definitely have one of the allocations however MINI is pushing back the builds until September. I've been assured my build will be during the first week of September...or sooner if they relax their schedule. I ordered on July 5 so I'm looking at mid-late September for delivery on the east coast.

Actually I'm just too picky. I like to order so that I can get exactly what I want. However the wait can be excruciating.
I hope everything goes great for you! The white (with red roof?) is a classic JCW combination. You are so fortunate getting a JCW right off the truck. That way it hasn't been used as a demo. MINI's have a 1200 mi break-in period. I doubt that demos have it so easy, certainly not the one I test drove.

I don't want to hear that! La La La La La

The crazy thing is that the demo I drove had it, but I cannot order it. ☹ï¸

My ‘18 is aboard the Don Quixote too. It was built on July 4th and I have active driving assist on my build. I haven’t heard of delays on that feature for the 18’s is it possible the sales guy was just trying to close the deal. You should call the 1866ASKMINI number and see if they tell you the same thing.
