The S spoiler looks bigger but the aero spoiler looks a lot neater. Plus the S spoiler is a lot more common than the rarely seen aero spioler. Then again i am biased .

Definately an aero spoiler.

I only bought it in the first place because it was a lot easier to fit than an S spoiler, but now I much prefer it and it's much more unusual, without looking "after market".

There both cool! I think the S spoiler is nice in some ways but will make your rear window dirty quick. Go for whatever one you like the look of most!

Aero spoiler all the way!

1) It looks cooler I think, sporty yet reasonably subtle - it's more like an extension of the roof than an added on handle.
2) Your Cooper will look less like a MCS wannabe.
3) S spoilers can be ripped off and stolen as they are bolted not bonded - when my spoiler was being fitted a MCS was in for replacement of a stolen one.

And here's the proof!

Admittedly, I have to say that your car looks absolutely fabulous. Love the wheels and chrome accents on the vents!
