That wing costs about $30,000, if you can find one - they're out of production.


Comes with lots of other cool parts though...

Longboard's spoiler looks really cool and I can see getting it for asthetics. But any of these wings, from a practical/performance standpoint create more drag to offset the benefit any downforce can do, at least on the stock engined vehicles.

well the wing it self look nice, but the whole fitting to the MINI is not. I think it is a bit smaller than the roof and sits too high for my taste.



I'm still for the JCW motorsport adjustable rear spoiler or in any case the Fireballed APR adjustable rear spoiler looks better than the Uber one IMO.

10 minute installation?!

i was just looking at sir patricks responses to potential buyers in their vendor announcement thread (why are they responding to buyers in that thread? creating more buzz maybe?) anyhow, i notice they claim installation is a mere 10 minutes.

from their announcement:
Ten Minute Instalation Time
Simply unbolt your existing OEM rear spoiler, and mount your Uber carbon Fiber spoiler through the existing OEM holes, and bolt it in place....DONE...


i just want anyone interested in purchasing this spoiler to know that what Palo Uber means by installation is only installation.
removing your oem spoiler will require a little of work since the factory also uses heavy double stick tape along with the 2 bolts to hold it down. the removal is going to be the most time consuming...

The one I liked best was the John Cooper challenge wing.

Hey where did you buy this wing from? I new where it was at one time but i cannot find the website anymore.

It's the same width as your OEM spoiler.
GLNR13....
Just to clarify, You are right about the installation. Installation of the Uber Wing alone takes about 10 minutes not including removing the OEM spoiler.
Motor On!
