I'm finishing my A level exams next week and have decided I'll treat myself once they're over!
I currently have the Aero spoiler on my car but have been thinking about something bigger.
I know it's not a huge budget but I'm looking to spend around £200 if possible. I've noticed on eBay, a company selling GP replica spoilers for £350 or best offer. Would this look silly on my car with standard bumpers and skirts?

The second option is the carbon JCW spoiler, which I imagine I can get second hand for around £200? Anyone know of any for sale?
My third (possible) option: the R56 JCW spoiler, I know it doesn't fit directly, but can this be modified to fit? I've seen R56 side skirts fit first gen cars with very minimal modifications and was wondering if it would be too much of a job to fit an R56 spoiler to my R50? I've also seen GP replica spoilers for sale that fit both first gen and second gen cars (maybe this is due to the glass rather than the roof section of the boot) I noticed on eBay someone is selling an R56 JCW spoiler for £250, without the boot section, would I be able to bolt this to my boot somehow? GENUINE BMW MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS REAR ROOF SPOILER PART NUMBER 51710441653 | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-BMW-MINI-JOHN-COOPER-WORKS-REAR-ROOF-SPOILER-PART-NUMBER-51710441653-/261042209255?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc75401e7)
I hope no one goes and buys this now :(
I think they're my only options, the Challenge spoiler is way too big and IMHO looks daft on road cars. I'm kinda thinking the GP spoiler is nearly like that too, though it looks perfect on the GP!
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
HAS ANYONE GOT PICTURES OF EITHER OF MY OPTIONS ON A PURE SILVER CAR? Had no luck finding any on good old :google:!
Thanks guys!
