Awesome. Were the stanchions custom or an add-on option? I'm really digging it.

I wonder what the lifetime warranty covers.

The stanchions are extra. I thought it looked better with them. S4S sells them too.

From their website:
"Full race front splitter with integrated under tray.

This splitter is specifically designed for the F56 MINI S and JCW front bumper to provide down force and reduce drag. The integrated under tray provides under car protection. Installed directly to the frame for increased strength. Does not require stanchions. Made of super heavy duty high density plastic and NOW carries a full 100% replacement for life with the original purchaser. If you somehow break a SneedSpeed splitter send us the pieces you have and we'll send you another one FREE!! This is only for the splitter and doesn't include hardware or stanchions. "

I really with the 3D design fit properly and wasn't CF. CF in the front is fine. My old car had a very low $3k CF splitter that I daily drove in the winter in and out of New York City [see below]. It had its moments but held up totally fine. CF isn't very breakable unless it's complete crap CF. My issue with the 3D design is I think CF looks cheesy on the Mini especially as it doesn't match the side trim. Maybe I should email them and ask how many buyers it would take to make a run of plastic that actually fits properly. I'd love to see the SneedSpeed one in person. I'm worried it will look a little too big, too much. Plus that logo has to go. Is that a sticker or does it come permanent on the splitter?

Thanks!

Best,
Gene

AT MTTS in 2014 I saw a Gen 3 MCS hardtop that had the black bumper cover painted body color. Made the front end look completely different. It was Lightning Blue. Wish I would have taken a picture. I'm ordering a 2019 JCW in White Silver, and I'm debating if and when I'll get this done. Some Photoshop work will help me make a decision.

If anything get it vinyl wrapped. That way if you don't like it you can take it off
