I think the answer is in your own post somewhere

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

your roof is black, so all you need to ask the dealer for is a black spoiler

they only come in solid black from the dealer


Are you getting the standard Cooper spoiler or the aero spoiler or the MCS spoiler, those are the options you need to look at and decide which you fancy out of the 3

Definitely NOT Astro Black....but perhaps Jet Black. Maybe there's a "roof black," which would be a safe reference name since Jet Black is going away...they've gotta call the roof color something!!!!

If it were me I'd talk to the dealer/paint shop and tell them exactly what you want and that you want the spoiler to match the roof. Couldn't hurt to double check. It should pretty clear and straightforward to them what you are asking for. Most, if not all, spoilers match the roof color.
