WTB base model 02-06 copper spoiler

I'm looking for a base model spoiler / upper rear window cover for my mini .
I need one for 35$ shipped I'm looking to spend only as its a little project im working on with my mini so paint isn't a big deal so color or faded paint idc..I figure maybe someone has one laying around and could save me a trip to the salvage yard .I need one like the one pictured below please. This would be the last piece to the puzzle .
MOD , PLEASE MOVE TO FOR SALE SECTION...

Anybody by chance have one they are willing to part with ? If so how much do you need to get it sold ? It's the last piece I need to finish my little project I been doing on my r53..
visually , im completely changing my car around . Probably getting rid of all my stickers and decals as well as the red trim and rpf1 rims... I will post up pics and info on it once done but I gotta get that spoiler to finish it .
if it's anything, I have a extended wire 02 sensors used for 50 miles just to verify it worked . The wires are lengthened on it about 2ft so it can reach aftermarket headers without splicing the stock wire harness ( I extended it not knowing my stock harness has been lengthened, so I just bought a regular length 02 and am using that )
I even bought a dent puller and will be attempting to get those few dents out of my trunk too.
heres how my car looks as of now..

Not sure if those were available on US 1st gens. You might have better luck finding one on minitorque, but the shipping, customs, and duties will probably be over your $35 target.

There was also a rare aero spoiler which was separate from the aero kit. It’s like a combo between the standard S spoiler and the spoiler you’re looking for.

You may be correct on it not being a U.S option , all the minis I've went to look at in the salvage yards , none have had one.. I miiiiiiiiight just pull off and use a chevy hhr ss spoiler if I cant find a mini one.. I'd be willing to pay more than 35$ I was just hoping someone had a parts car and had that on it just collecting dust. I just threw out the 35$ offer as that's what the yard charged me 20-35 depending on size and vehicle it was off of.
lol I looked at every vehicle in 3x yards by me trying to find that mini spoiler or something that may work . A VW new beetle spoiler miiiiiight work too. I would have to pull it to 2x check the curvature .

I was also interested in those spoilers,
made a thread on the topic:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...king-info.html

I found one at the boneyard and have since seen several more, so they are out there.

They are a pain-in-the-*** to remove and you must be careful as well not to flex too much or it may crack.

LKQ has pix online so you can browse and see what's out there:

ha, the manager or CEO or somebig wing from that company bought something off me awhile back and said if I ever needed a favor call him for any part, he will fund it...
I'm gonna call the local lkq here and see if I cant get ahold of him ..lol I gotta dig up the old conversation and find his name. Hopefully that pans out.

SA WEET !!!!!! Found one , hopefully its here by months end ! That was the last piece I needed !!!!! Hehehe I'm giddy about my little project now, I think its gonna be kinda nice. And again since it's me, it's done with the most affordable parts I could find ( tried a few really cheap things and had to send 2 back as the quality was crap)as if I had 3000$ I could just go out and buy and have it be what I wanted buuuut money like that just isn't an option with me..lol I gotta even plan to buy something even if only 100$ , o well. That's life
