    I have a 2005 R53. My buddy bought a MINI Challenge Wing (the original one, NOT the new one), and I am looking to replicate it since it's nearly impossible to find, and they are really expensive. Does anyone out there have one that can get me the specs (dimensions) on it and/or get the factory part number. I can't seem to find it online and can only find a handful of pictures which aren't very helpful.

    If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it!!!

    He's going to try but he's not sure when he can get to it. Just trying to get a start on it while I have the time.

    Thanks Nathan! I realized after I posted it that it wasn't very informative lol
