Duckbill spoiler R56

Hey everyone,
So I have a 2007 MCS and I want to get a duckbill spoiler, but I'm trying not to break the bank. Shopping around hasn't gotten me anywhere because I can't seem to find anyone that sells them. I want something that resembles what the cars in the pictures below have. I was thinking of maybe trying to fit an ek hatch civic duckbill on it, but I have no idea if that would even work....all help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Tyler

Could try an Orranje G Wing and adjust it right up.

Anything like the ones in the pictures will have to be custom moulded at a guess. Minis don't have the same ricer crowd as Hondas so they won't be an off the shelf item.

I've only ever really seen the duckbill spoiler on a sedan. The one below is my buddies and is made by Seibon. The yellow one is a custom job. I wanted one pretty bad until I started getting into the racing scene. I too really dig the look of them though. Unfortunately, I think you're going to have to find a company that will do a custom mold for your vehicle. Could always give M7 or Seibon a call and see what they might say.

Wow nice shot, always love a proper subie. Thanks for the tip, yeah I don't think I'll be finding one anytime soon, and a custom job might be more than just buying a g-wing instead.
Thanks

Added another to my post above for you to check out as well. I might be able to get you the info for the company that did the custom one, but I'm not 100% sure they would or do make anything for MINI. Never hurts to ask though. Good luck!

The closest thing would be a Leap wing extension.

A wing of this design will definitely slow you down and absolutely kill any gas mileage. It does impress teenage girls.
