Different WINGS for...

...each MINI model? Heard from someone that MC wings and MCS wings have different designs. True?

I'm sure this has already been posted, discussed, etc. I just couldn't come up with any search words that would get me there.

The front wings on a Cooper are larger than the MCSs because of the MCS scoop. Not sure about the size on back, though. Designs are the same.

There is a wing on the MC and it is different than the MCS. It looks like there isn't a wing because it is built up off of the top of the boot.

The MCS spoiler allows air to pass between it and the roof. It is only attached at the ends. The MC spoiler is mounted flush with the roof and air can only pass over it. At least, thats the way it is on my '02 MC and MCS.

Might need to reference some pics since I have the MCS.

Btw, I saw pictures of your custom door sills right after your event. I had Mike (nice having him in Phoenix) do custom bonnets/boots and roof wings shortly after he returned. He showed me installation pics and when I saw your post I thought - Soulfire??? Oh yeah.

Anyone know if the badges are interchangeable? I've read that there are a couple of prongs on the back, thus holes in the body of the car. My rear badge is going bad so I was thinking of going more MINImal and swapping it for the smaller one, would it work?

Thanks It took some emails to get the design/idea right. I think they ended up comming out great.

Ok, makes sense. I think CROC is the only one that gives #'s out. I have never gotten a EBOC #

I looked at my MCS and my Dad's MC and the boot badges are the same, and the front badges are just different sizes
