At one point in time, we were a 2-MINI family. But my wife's R50 is gone now and I still have some things that never made it on to the car. This item is a brand new, never used, R53/MCS stock rear spoiler. I bought it new from the dealer with the intent of "upgrading" the little spoiler on the R50 (part of a bigger plan to paint the roof a different color) So I've got a R53/Cooper S spoiler, right from the dealer, primed and ready to be painted. It cost me about $175, plus another $12 for the adhesive installation kit. If you have a R50/Cooper with the smaller Cooper spoiler, this will bolt right up as an upgrade. If you've got a Cooper with no spoiler at all - install could be a bit tricky because you don't have the holes in your boot. I'll let it go for $135 - plus shipping if needed. Or pick it up in central NJ. I'd even be willing to meet you part way, up to ~50 miles. PM me if interested.
She's still motoring along, just not with us. Shamrock is still in NJ and we keep in touch with the new owner. Just kinda sad that we never got to paint the roof BRG and put this spoiler on...
Another I didn't get any interest on this so I just kinda let it slide and got busy with other things. Now back to cleaning out the garage again... How about a price drop: Now $120 + shipping. Maybe your R53 roof spoiler got banged up or damaged? Or you wanted to upgrade that R50 spoiler to looks like a Cooper S? Drop me a note...
I have an R50 and have no idea what spoiler I have, (Stock, or...?) There is somewhat of a spoiler just not very big and for the life of me I cannot find an example of an R50 and a R53 spoiler. Could you post a picture?
This should help a little. One of the secondary reasons I wanted to upgrade the spoiler was access to the 3rd brake light. I changed that to clear on my MCS, but on the MC the stock spoiler blocked access. Water can get into that fixture and burn out the light...
I just checked out your photos - looks like you have the std R50 spoiler, so the one I'm selling would be an upgrade for you. But photos dont always show the difference well. If you can park your car next to a 1st gen MCS you'd really see the difference for yourself.
Another bump - I've still got this, and I'm trying to get the garage cleaned out for new projects - so how about $80 + shipping?
