Interior/Exterior JCW Spoiler, Yay or Nay. [Pics]
Actually, it does have a use. It was designed with function in mind, but to each their own. Individuality is one of the things that makes these cars so great.
Any Mini dealer can get one for you. I got mine mine from Morristown Mini (their ebay site). They had the best price around and great service.

You can use wings on FWD cars to add a bit more downforce in the back and use diffusers to the front to add more downforce up front.
Look at any of the MINI challenge cars and you will see that they are running wings

i'm going to get my all whited out. i hate that CF look and plus every little ricer has that on their car and i don't want to be put in that category. I don't know if i'll paint it or if i'll have it covered in just vinyl like my sunroof is. vinyl will be cheaper, any guesstimate on painting the whole thing?
i forgot who said they have basically all the JCW parts, i'm going that way too. they are just nice. i want the steering wheel but $400 bucks is a bit much for that. granted, i use that everyday as opposed to the wing. oh well, looks over function i guess.

This is what I chose, it does make "a statement", not for those shy about being different. I was pleasantly suprised how much better this looks in person and not at all "ricey". It cost about the same as the JCW (even including shipping and import) but is still unique and functional with five adjustments. The JCW is glued on (much like the stock spoiler) but the Motorsport wing requires drilling.

The wheels are Neez Euro Cross (got em on my MINI). As for the JCW wing..I am considering it as I think it compliments a modded, slammed MINI. BTW...the pics are us MINIACS on our Taebaek race track trip.
First of all, I am for it. I think it's quite a compliment to a tuned MINI. Though there is no telling on the performance gain as most of us don’t travel fast enough for the spoiler to perform dramatically. I am debating between the JCW carbon spoiler and the JCM's aluminum one which has a stronger motorsport image.
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.

Rally meant the GP-wing is serious cash since from what I understand you basically need a new hatch as well, I've heard the number $3000 for it.

I'm in the market for a tasteful wing (oxymoron, perhaps)... I took a close look at a GP they had at Sterling. I can't say for sure you would need an entirely new hatch; but you will definitely need new rear glass.
