Yeah so has anyone ever seen a spoiler that actually looks good on a mini?

IMO they all look a bit 80's and ott! :w00t:

What are your thoughts on spoilers and wings?

I quite like the idea of a small aero one at the very back of the roof........ have seen one that looked quite nice but other than that they have mostly looked poo so I'm not going to bother with anything on mine :grin:

That is one sexy mini! Love the colour and the mirrors and the graphics and the sunstrip and the tints and the indicator and the de-seamedness of it!!

Nice spoiler too! lol!

exactly, i suppose if it has a super powerfull engine inside, then is would need one, but ones like the one in that pic are just for show, a spoiler needs to be set up right to work out the downforce n stuff.

I must admit that I would never fit a spoiler myself, however, I must conceed that the spoiler on BigBadBoab's car does look very good, especially as it was modified from another car! Always tried to figure out how it was done when Laura owned it!
