Gregg has the "smooth" Clubman spoiler, which before now, I had only seen in the configurator. Looks great Gregg!!

For comparison, mine is the "JCW" roof spoiler...

Nice spoilers! Do they do anything to improve the airflow around backend to keep some of the dust and dirt off? With a PW/B that is my biggest complaint with the design of the rear end.

Woody Marshall in Macon, Ga. My wife got a Clubman a few months ago. I was wondering if the spoiler helps does anything to change the airflow around rear doors to keep some of the dust and dirt off?

What is the install like? Does it require drilling holes? Woody

Spoiler is glued on with a special "BetaLink" adhesive.

Doubt it will direct enough air downward over the boot to clear the dust.

Hi, I ordered it with my car on the configurator. I am not sure if it is available on the non S model.

Yep. What austex said. It's glued down with a recently-declassified military adhesive. It sets in 1 minute, and dries in about 4-5 hours. The fancy installation jig they used on mine was comprised of green, no-stick painters tape.

Here's an example from my gallery:


I can also atest that it seems to do diddly in terms of keeping dust, precip, etc. off the back windows.

So you added yours at the dealer? Was it pricier than the $250 on the configurator? Wife wants to add spoiler on hers, but local dealer parts guy gives blank stare...

I've got a factory spoiler (rounded one) on my 2009 clubbie... there's a really horrible shot of it in my gallery. It doesn't seem to do a thing to help with dust, and we have a chip road with horrible limestone dust on it- my boot was so dusty this morning I couldn't see out (oh darned, had to go wash it off, LOL).
what I can tell you is the spoiler really pulls the car together. gives it just that little something "extra" -
I would take another pix, but I've got my racks on right now and really don't want to take them off just yet...
HOpe the bad pix helps-

austex - yes I added it through the dealer. I'm in Canada, so we don't have a configurator per se, so I did it as an accessory. Pricing is all over the map and not usefully comparable...

I was quoted one price for the primed part. Another price for it to be painted and installed. They actually forgot about the cost of the adhesive which is above and beyond the installation quote - which I gather is just shop time and not materials. So, in Canadian dollars, I got $60 worth of superglue for free...
