Newest Mod (What do y'all think?)

I didn't like how the std MCS spoiler blended in with the roof so well, so when I saw that SB was selling his Astro Black spoiler, I thought... why not?

So... here it is;

BEFORE



AFTER

It's the uniformity that kinda threw me. From certain angles it was hard to tell that a spoiler was even there

That's what's great about Minis ...being different. I like it, thinking outside the box.

I like the silver one better, but I like the one on the GP's even more.......if I could buy one I'd put it on my car regardless of the color.

It was the factory AB part from someone (SB) who took it off to install the JCW Wing I just pulled the old one off and stuck the AB one in it's place (Kept the Silver one... just in case )

One vote for "that's an improvement" !

The spoiler does stand out very well now. That's one reason I didn't continue the checkered roof onto my spoiler like many do with their roof graphic... I wanted the spoiler to stand out and not blend in like it's part of the roof (even though it pretty much is).

Thanks everyone
I wasn't sure if I should do it, but with the positive feedback I got over at m|µ I decided to go for it... and it turned out nicely (If I do say so myself )
