I have just Acquired a roof spoiler for my Mini One, but am a little confused !!
Here in the U.K. min one has NO spoiler, Cooper has Small spoiler,
and "S" has large spoiler that only attaches at its ends, but curved away from
tailgate in the middle. When I collected my "spoiler" from my local BMW Dealer
It is NOT as either described above !! It is BIGGER than the Cooper, but not styled
like the "S" Is this what you get on your side of the pond, or do I have something
odd !!

That's the spoiler from the aero kit. I have one on my Cooper S. I had the stock Cooper S spoiler removed and then the aero spoiler installed.

I'm personally not sure. I can't find a single person who has the aero kit that has a photo with the view from behind and below. as I understood it, the aero kit spoiler doesn't have the gap, it's attached completely across the back and the MCS spoiler has the gap because it's attached only at the two ends.

I like the look of the chrome so I'm not concidering the aero kit. I'm glad because I like the look of the MCS spoiler.

As promised, a photo of the aero spoiler on my daughter's
Mini One. (Also has "S" filler cap,white side repeaters, and
colour coded mirrors. Its mild compared to some on your side of
the Pond, but we like it !!! :smile:
