Not too sure about this one but I thought I would post it and get everyone's opinion.



By the way... the above pics were found Here....

Just thought I would put it out there.
Any thoughts?

It might look better on a MINI Convertable... I'm not sure if it would have crossed the threshold to actually looking good at that point though.

 

I like the looks for it, but it's not very functional in that position--airflow-wise. Come to think of it. I don't know how functional the factory one on my S will be...if it ever gets here.

 

By the time the airflow gets back to the spoiler it is probably on the turbulent side of the boundary layer anyway, so the effectiveness of the spoiler is compromised.

Airfoils (like the spoiler) operate significantly better with laminar (smooth) airflow. The squared off end of the MINI produces a pretty dirty airflow behind the car, and by that I mean there are a lot of vortices. This is why hatchbacks wind up with a lot of debris collecting on the rear.

 

That doesn't look like it makes much sense there.....
Can't say that I, personally, am a fan......

 

I'm not too crazy about this either...

Plus being in a heavy snow state (Wisconsin) I'd think that would just be a snow dam. (Even with a rear wiper)

I hope no one brings out those huge wings that I've seen on Lancers.

One more thing, for the love of sweet jeebus, no one jack one up!

Desecration I tell you!

 

That looks silly IMO. And I don't see how any airflow device in that position could have any effect on the handling. And it's not like MINIs are known for losing the back end anyway!

 

What were they thinking! I agree with L.Mini and also the comment that it may look great on a Convertable.

Looks like it's a knock-off from a mid-spoiler kit for a Civic hatchback.
A little to "Ricey" for me -

 

nah! Not my cup of tea, it seems like it's trying to hard. The MINI has enough style already without that mess in the back, too much junk in the trunk
