I'm considering doing something like a spoiler on the back of my cabrio, has anyone done anything like this? thoughts or opinions? don't worry, I'm not rice-ing my car, just something I thought might be kind of cool. respectful opinions please

The only one I've seen in person was by West Coast Mini in California. A local club member has one on her car. It looks really nice.

Brownflyer has some pictures of his install.

By the way, I found that using 'Search / spoiler'. Try it some time, that little search engine works really good.

Every time I search for something simple like a spoiler I always get millions of results that have nothing to do with what I'm looking for, and if I narrow it down I end up getting nothing
Sorry guys!

Do you find your boot/trunk too easy to reach into at the moment and so you want to make it harder?

PS: Click the 'Advanced Search' option and you can narrow it down much easier.

This is the WCM spoiler I had on my R52. I thought it worked well.

Blue, what do you use to dress your tires? I'd put that car in an airtight nitrogen filled glass box and just look at it. Nicely detailed.

http://www.racdyn-usa.com/Merchant2/...gory_Code=mini is a link to the spoiler manufacturer in Outmotoring. Only spoiler I could find. I bought mine at MossMini.com for a great price, but there no longer available. Very easy to install. Bought the matching paint at automotivetouchup.com.
