I bought an S spoiler from a guy off another forum and when it arrived.... It was pepper white...not White.

Could I get the aspen white paint from mini or should I get it painted then fitted? I really don't want to spend a few hundred dollars on this seeing how I already paid $110 for the spoiler.

It should not take a few hundred dollars to have it painted. It is your only sane option though, unless you suddenly want to become a paint expert. You will save money if you install it yoursef (and de-install the old one). It really is no big deal.

I don't currently have a spoiler on my Cooper. I'd have to do the drilling myself which i'm less skilled at then painting.

Good luck.....as to drilling, as long as you measure twice and use a punch where the hole will be and start out with a small bit and work up to the size you need, drilling is kind of easy (for me anyways)....only painting I trust myself to do is on walls and under strict supervision

My father said he'd do the drilling for me but I still have to get it painted. Does Mini supply the Aspen white paint?

Any body shop will match it, the body shop at your MINI dealership will get it spot on.
