MINI Cooper S 2006 Car Cover?

i want to purchase a car cover for my MINI and am confused on which to get. amazon has two different ones. one is for a MINI with a spoiler and the other is for a MINi without. i just have a standard 06 MINI Cooper S that has the factory spoiler on the back. is that what they are talking about or are they referring to something like the GP spoiler?

thanks for your help.

without spoiler

I'm pretty sure it's in reference to something like the GP spoiler. The standard spoiler is too small to make enough of an impact on the size of the cover. The one pictured look very similar to the one I had and it fit just fine.

If you want my opinion, the MINI brand car cover kind of sucks. The inside seams scratched up the paint if there are any movements—Wind and such. I bought it for my first MINI and hated it for that reason. Not sure if they changed the material on the current one.

thanks for the input and advice. i figured it would be for a GP like spoiler, but wanted to make sure. i will look into the scratches and see if anyone else had this issue.

thanks again!

Never had scratch issues with mine but I always tucked it snug to keep from movements.
