JCW spoiler upgrade?

Own a '16 CM JCW - manual; Anyone looked into or upgraded their rear roof spoiler? - something along the lines of the Prodrive WRC Rally car back in 2012? Would be interested in hearing your thoughts/ recommendations. This is purely visual. Think it will balance out the overall 'look'.

I've been tinkering with this for ages. There are a few wacky designs out there but by far and away the best is the Lohen WRC wing. The problem is that it is EXPENSIVE for a wing...

Radical!
Found a couple of options on OutMotoring (always a good source for MINI parts), and not crazy $$$ https://www.ecstuning.com/b-leap-par...p-psi-spl-r60/

There are other variations out there but no testimonials............yet.

I can speak to the manufacturing quality of the JDM Topstage stuff, though I don't have the wing.

It certainly needs a body shop to work it in, but the actual construction is good. I have their light pod - beautiful welds, good fiberglassing, great packaging.

Yes that would be sweet to see one of these "in action". Tried google with limited results. May be willing to take the plunge and do it next spring (wait until winter passes). Now just need to find a good body shop - would not necessarily just rely on any 2-way tape. Want to be sure it is super secure - especially when going fast in the JCW

Brief aside: Your car looks identical to mine lol!; how do you find the 19" JCW wheel option? I have the 18" five spoke version.
