The active rear spoiler is a better fit to the overall design of the Coupe. The big wing is way off and breaks everything. This is just my opinion.

Cus it's the best of both worlds.

I learnt something today. I always thought the spoilers were the same on Roadster and Coupe but they're not. The standard active ones are different part numbers, and so are the JCW wings. I've got a wing for my Roadster on price watch to see if they sell them off and drop the price like they've been doing with aero kits, etc. I plan to keep the car a long time so putting a fixed one away for if/when the movable one fails seems like a good and less expensive plan.

Because the fluid dynamic and airfoil of the Coupe is far different from the roadster, the spoilers are not the same.
Many people think this is a gadget as well as the roof spoiler on the Coupe but they are not.

That would look so weird. ha!

Yes, they have 2 different parts numbers on the JCW wing and the OEM parts. R58 vs. R59, might be able to mod it to work. I bet the edges and contour has to be modded.

I'll most likely put that JCW wing on and have it wrapped in Carbon Fiber. It'll look sick. Or do you think I should have it painted black?
#221
Wrap it would be easy and a quick way to find out if you like that better. Paint it would look more professional but it would cost more. I would wrap first and see what it looks like. If it does not look like what you wanted go to the painted look.
