I was concerned with the bling factor until I saw one in person. It fits the car very well so as not to look like an add-on from some aftermarket bling shop.

Secondly, do you have information on the set of wheels in the above picture? Are those Neez? The anthracite tone matches the carbon wing perfectly.

My first reaction was "no", but some of those pics really show what a quality piece of work it is. Plus you can get at the 3rd brake light to clean it unlike the stock unit. Bottom line: Yup!

ALTHOUGH, on a few cars it actually works REALLY well. Depends on your car

Do what you think is best, and let us know how it turns out

Does the surface of MCS roof require a lot of prep work after removing the stock spoiler? (eg. painting & hole filing)

Thanks,
Mike

I'd say it like this, getting the JCW spoiler.

1. Basic MC= No
2. MCS=No
3. JCW MCS or MC, yes as it's part of a complete package.

just my .02.

Meh... I dont care what you all think...

Its hot on my PW/PW MCS... I get complemented all the time, and is usually the first thing some notice. Its black because I am in the process of blacking out all the chrome on my car..

I kinda like it ,on a modded out car. I would like one on mine ,maybe if I get the roof done in metallic black, I'll be looking for one. Somebody alway's trying to sell one on E-bay. But whats with the "must have glue gun"? Also the stocker and the JCW are so different , were they designed to do different things?

It's on my "future" mod list.... and I feel should only be used after other mods are made to the car. In other words, I don't think it would look good on an otherwise stock car. Something would have to be done to the car beforehand that gave it that modded look and then the spoiler will be a nice added touch

I think the wing looks great... Wish I could put one on MY car. All that matters is that YOU like it... Minis = "You"ification.

Do whatever you want, it's your car. If you like it, go for it! I've seen them in person, and although they are not for me, they are really high quality pieces.
