It is a MINI spoiler that is what you could call the "factory" version. I think it looks a lot better than the first(JCW?) version...
this one follows the rear roof line perfectly, and is very smooth looking...





...as opposed to this one, dubbed the "JCW" spoiler...

I agree 100%.

I wonder how it will look with my factory roof rail...probably not good.

Personally, I like the JCW spoiler better. I'm definitely going to get it when I get my Clubbie!

Can you get the factory spoiler in the US? I think it looks a lot better than the JCW one.

In the past spoilers in the US have not been available except from the factory. I.E. not available to be installed after the car has been built. It has something to do with the airbags that run along the ridge line

I hope they are changing this policy as i would like to have one on my clubbie. but when i ordered mine there were none even available.

And personally i like the JCW style better. But the Newer one does flow with the car better.

I'm hoping this is the new spoiler motoringfile was talking about. I did not like the JCW one bit.

Anyone happen to know what the price of the new spoiler is and if it can be put on at the dealer. Looks pretty good.

I decided to ditch the idea of getting one. It'll look foolish with my factory roof rails. I do think it looks very cool on the non-roof rail Clubmans though

JohnJohn, To confirm your decision to "ditch the Idea" - the roof rails option and any factory spoiler option are mutually exclusive. Because the roof rails 'Rear most' mount point is the same position that the factory spoilers mount 'It's one or the other'.

Good to know. I'll just turn my Thule fairing upside down and mount it to the back Thule cross bar.
