Another great example of how using the internal 'R' codes gets confusing

According to the listing, the spoiler was taken of a brand new Cooper S Convertible!

I've just looked at that listing again....

It's listed by tom22mk and your Username on here is TomUK23.

It's your spoiler, isn't it?

It doesn't say that.

It said brand new R53 S, not R52 S. I know you can't get the 1st gen S brand new anymore apart from the convertible, but he's either referring to an 06 MCS or as you say a second generation.

I'd contact the seller to for clarification.

This is a genuine BMW Mini Coopr S Spoiler in Black. This item was taken off a brand new Cooper S R52 for the fitting of an after market Spoiler, it is as new and in perfect condition!

Well that answers my question.

I've just refreshed the page and it now says R53!

Please see the attachment.

By the way, I agree and think you've spotted a violation of forum rules.

That's all very impressive Kev, but we've already established that Tom has changed the listing!

Good point on the Forum rules though. It might be an idea to edit your first post Tom and remove the link
