We’ve got everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the new JCW Spoiler for the US market. First off, yes it is available. However it’s fairly limited as only one dealer that we know of has stock at the moment. But don’t worry, we have information below on not only how to get one but how to get one at a discount. But before we get into all that, here’s the official description from an internal MINI document:

The JCW Roof Spoiler is a road legal version of the roof spoiler which is currently used in the MINI Cooper Challenge. The spoiler has been optimized in the wind tunnel and is available in three different finished to match the color of the MINI roof. The top of the spoiler is made from high quality carbon fiber which blends perfectly with the extremely sporty design of the roof spoiler.

As we mentioned above the only dealer that current has stock of the JCW spoiler in the US (that as know of) is Morristown MINI. Since Morristown is a sponsor of the site we’ve managed to secure some MotoringFile exclusive pricing on the spoiler for our readers:

Black / 51 71 0 406 291 – $476.70 (MSRP: $568)
High Gloss metallic (silver) / 51 13 0 392 168 – $476.70 (MSRP: $568)
Aspen white / 51 71 0 406 292 – $476.70 (MSRP: $568)
(required is the adhesive kit* / 83 19 0 406 974) – $35.52 (MSRP: $47)

To order just go to Morristown MINI’s site (here) and use this special MotoringFile reader login info:

Now, about all those other JCW parts for ’06. When are those due out?
giacomo

Nice, but I like the GP spoiler better.
Siddhartha

So it’s been optimized in the wind tunnel . . . does it provide any downforce to help plant the rear end at speed? If so, at what speed does it become effective?

I know the Exige spoiler and body parts contribute some serious downforce compared to the Elise. How about this MINI spoiler?

Or is it just bling?
giacomo

JCW’s rims are spankin’!!! Should have put those on the GP.

Or is it just bling?

The short answer is no… it was engineered in a wind tunnel to offer better downforce. You may want to re-read the second paragraph as that’s the official answer.
Siddhartha

OK Gabe, I’ll take your word for it and put one on order. BUT, if it doesn’t keep me from going light over Turn 9 and subtract a couple seconds from my lap times, I’m sending Guido. :-)

Send Guido to Mike Cooper first :)

Yikes . . . Love those install instructions – hope the installer has “sharp eyes”! No room for error there. Wouldn’t you love to have a slightly cocked wing VERY PERMANENTLY glued to your roof?

In the last part of the install PDF ["Notes on Operation" section], it says you can’t use roof racks with the spoiler. That seems a big price to pay for bling.

I would think the factory spoilers would be considered bling before the JCW since they essentially do nothing for the car in terms of performance. Of course having a roof rack would defeat the purpose of the spoiler anyway but to each their own.

So the general concensus is that replacing the “S” spoiler with the JCW spoiler will make the MCS/JCW more…”manageable”?
Jim

Maybe if Tony Nuzzo had one of these things in Pheonix he would not have gone ass over tea kettle.
Siddhartha

I’m going to have to spend all night prying the diamonds off the top of my stock spoiler and removing the purple LED tube light from the bottom. Damn! What am I gonna do for bling now?!??
http://www.motoringfile.com/ Gabe

I think that deserves an LOL.
ChrisW

Yes! Finally!!! I’ve been dreaming of a Type-R MINI for years! :)
Robert

Gabe,

Are the color options on the JCW Spoiler just to match the roof color while letting the carbon fibre weave show on the center section?
http://www.motoringfile.com/ Gabe

Yes.
Schmagagled

Gabe;

Just placed an order for the one attached to the car with the black roof. Hope that means I got the black one. ;-} Cause I didn’t see a color described in the remarks for any of the images shown. (Just as long as it’s not white!).
Siddhartha

In and installed yesterday. schaaweet. anybody need a stock spoiler?
