Aero Spoiler on 2008 MC?

Thought you guys might be able to help me out with some info...

I want have the Aero Spoiler that was posted in this thread (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...light=spoilers) installed on my MC.

It looks like Spoiler Depot (http://www.spoilerdepot.com/catalog.asp?idproduct=559) has it for sale and they say it will fit 08s.

Do you think they are right? Does anyone have this spoiler on the 07 or 08? Any knowledge of Spoiler Depot? Thoughts on spoilers in general?

Thanks!

The OEM aero spoiler will fit your car but the one pictured at that site is on a 05 or 06 MINI. The OEM Aero Spoiler looks much different

Why not put the S spoiler on the MC?

Thanks for the info. My end up going with the S spoiler.

Had been hoping to find one that is similar to the standard MC one only abit bigger. The older Aero Spoiler looked to be a possible option. I like how it continues the roof line.

Anyone know of other spoilers I may have missed?

I dunno, I love the mini spoilerless personally, makes it look more sleek =) But I do not see the point in putting a spoiler on a front wheel drive car. To me its something sticking out of the car to add drag... and drag = slower = less mileage plus speed.
