From this photo I took, it looks like you do get a small spoiler as standard. The engine does sound quite different, more like a peugeot! We will see if that is a good or bad thing. The exhaust doesn't seem to sound as sporty as my previous mini. On the whole it is a big improvement on the old model and I have been told the dash shouldn't develop any rattles! First thing my daughter tried was the aux port. Works a treat with her ipod. I bought an aux cable off ebay for £3, and that seems to work fine.

Is it smaller, or is it that the back of the car is more bulky and makes it look smaller

Spamini · Nov 19th, 2006, 04:56 PM

I didn't spec a spoiler so I assume that is what you get if you don't spec one.

supa-dupa-cooper · Nov 19th, 2006, 05:02 PM

I thought the COOPER came with one as standard?..hmm maybe not, time to get the brochures out again

Paul · Nov 19th, 2006, 05:04 PM

All the press documents say the Cooper has a spoiler as standard.

rec · Nov 19th, 2006, 05:17 PM

that's what i thought. but it's shown as an optional extra on the Configurator, and I ordered one at a cost of £120. what have i ordered ?!

Paul · Nov 19th, 2006, 05:43 PM

Maybe the more curvy spoiler shown in the red/white press shots?

Page 80 of my brochure shows the cooper and S spoilers. It says the "optional roof colour rear spolier " Not sure whether they are saying the spolier is optional or the colour coding?

However it sure looks different to the one on spaminis'. The brochure photo seems to curl up more and Spammis seems flatter. Surely there is only one spolier for the cooper though? Did you spec a Chili pack Spammi? On my order it lists a rear roof spoiler (325) included with the Chili pack

Paul · Nov 19th, 2006, 06:11 PM

That's what I'm saying above, the "optional" one is more curvy in appearance.

Must be that.

astroarcadia · Nov 19th, 2006, 06:17 PM

you're right it must be

Seems strange to have two spoilers for the cooper that are so similar. Much prefer the towel rail on the S though. I think it best suits the mini, more so than the JCW.

I went for the pepper pack, so the mystery deepens! Perhaps they put it on by mistake!

SteveBrass · Nov 19th, 2006, 07:12 PM

As far as I can make out, all minis come with a spoiler.

The optional one for the Cooper is as others have said bigger and curvier than the standard Cooper spoiler.

I saw all three spoilers on Friday (cooper standard, cooper optional and cooper s).

rayb · Nov 20th, 2006, 10:50 AM

I presume the "Cooper optional" is the one that comes with the chilli pack.

rec · Nov 20th, 2006, 10:52 AM

yay, i got a cooper optional then ;]

nice !

Miss Marmite · Nov 20th, 2006, 11:49 AM

Ive got the chilli pack on mine, so which spoiler will I be getting? the curvier one? Hope so

We are still talking about Miss Marmites spoiler here

and not her bodywork

?

Scrogg · Nov 20th, 2006, 04:37 PM

The 'spoiler' on Spamini's car is not actually classed as a spoiler, it is just how the car is when nothing is ordered.

The £120.00 stand-alone option spoiler is exactly the same one you get as part of the CHILI Pack, which is the much more obvious 'curvy' type mentioned a few times already.

Hope this clears this up?
