Just going down to have a look at buying my 3rd mini tomoro. Just geting together some ideas for when i get it!

Was thinking about a small rear roof spoiler - Like the one on the new mini!

Anyone done anything similar?

Cheers

iv seen the RGM ones, but i want one that sits above the gutter trim, if that makes sense!

Any opinions on wether it will loook good or not, Feel free to critisize!

ahhh ok wasn't sure minispares do a spoiler and flare kit didnt look at it fully but it looked like it could be the right sort of spoiler

spoiler

its an RGM kit so they could be your best bet to try for just the spoiler

*tbf it looked like it was mag mounted to the roof but i doubt it was*

aye like that one - But if i could make it sit a bit higher on the roof - Above the gutter trim.

Anyone recon i could modify a new mini spoiler to fit?

*** edit - Meaning the rgm spoiler - not the naked women!!!***

Hey man, you could try asking a composites company to make you one up, might be a bit costly but at least you'd get what you want :P

The Arc Angels are very friendly/helpful, and offer bespoke fabrications
