JCW spoiler in all Black? no silver mounts..??

Where can I find a R56 JCW spoiler with a black base and black mounts..Not the JCW spoiler with black base and silver mounts in the United States?
I see them offered in the U.K. Like this one pictured..its all black mounts..


I don't want to buy the JCW with the silver mounts and have to re-paint them black...
thanks

I was wondering the same thing. I saw one for sale on ebay. I should have bought it cause I have never seen another on there since.

If you cant find the spoiler your looking for, just have those silver bits wrapped in black vinyl.

You can either get it from UK:

Or just ask your dealer to order it for you!

Cheers!

None of the dealers I talked to could get it. So I bit the bullet and ordered it from across the pond.

Why didn't you just order it here and have the ends painted? I mean, afterall, that's all they are from the factory... painted a different color?

Seems it would have been a whole lot cheaper than shipping and paying the currency difference.

Just wondering.

The cheapest I found a silver mount was a little over $500. Then you tack on $100 - $150 you would have to pay a body shop to paint the mounts. Add that up and it's darn near the same price as ordering it from England.

I understand, I just thought with the spoiler being 472 including VAT and converting it to US currency (probably about 600 bucks) and shipping was probably 50-100 bucks, it starts to add up.

Nonetheless, it's cool you got it, post pics when you get it installed.

I'm contemplating buying another one to keep on my car while I build a new spoiler... it's about time.

FYI. You don't have to pay VAT if shipped to USA

Don't say that crap.... I paid I think like 500 VAT when I bought my seats shipped to the US from Recaro.

God I hope not... I'll be pissed.

EDIT: whew... went back and checked... I knew it was 500 something... it was for shipping and handling. LOL.

Shipping & Handling: £568.00

You have any other pics? I'm contemplating ordering another JCW spring while I build another spoiler.

Thanks,
