I don't know what to call it, so all I can think of is that it is an "upgrade" from the standard Cooper S roof spoiler. FYI It is the one in the MINI accessory catalog without the center support. In the catalog, they just called it "roof spoiler". Please post pics if you got one, I'm interested in getting one.
This is the standard MCS roof spoiler. As you can see, it has less of a rise and has a center support.
I don't think the junk is coming from the top, I think it's the air swirling up from the ground. You ever seen those "skirts" on the back of an RV? They help keep it cleaner but stopping the air from swirling up. Maybe the Mini needs a skirt.
I'd really love to see some pictures of the palo uber lip on an R56 as an upgrade over the stock spoiler.
The stock wing does need a little something more, but I haven't heard many good reviews of PU.
good pictures of the optional wing, last time I checked it was a regular cooper option, good to know it'll fit the MCS as well.
I think the only way to keep the back of the car clean would be to get a spoiler that angles the opposite of a conventional spoiler. Directing air downwards instead of deflecting it upwards. Think of the first (S10) generation Chevy Blazers.

If the stock spoiler had some kind of aftermarket attachment that directed air down instead of backwards, it might help with the dirt that's always over the back of the car. A palo uber lip that attached on the back side and had more surface to direct air down. It might work. Might not look to good, but it would work as well as say that Chevy one.
Another question for any who has installed this: how much did it cost, or can I bolt it on myself? Is the center support on the OEM MCS spoiler going to leave a hole in my roof? $300 for this one if I could just bolt it on would be worth it, but not getting the roof repainted and all that.

I believe it's all one-piece, including a section of what looks like your roof. It is just a bolt on. Looking at the JCW wing install, looks pretty simple.
Take off old wing, bolt on new one, apply the strip of cover (no idea what that long black piece is called), done.
