If you ever feel the need for a more sportier look or more orange then an MG ZR spoiler is a perfect addition to the BRM.
The mk2 version of the spoiler comes in one piece with a clear rear brake light and can be colour coded to match the car easily enough, I opted for colour coding mine Brooklands Green and BRM Orange to give a contrast to the front of the car.
Fitting one is an easy job, although it is easier to have 2 people just to help with lifting the spoilers on and off the car.
Firstly remove the plastic trim from the inside of the boot hatch, I found it easier to undo the lugs that the parcel shelf hangs from first. It is then a case of gently prising the top piece of plastic from the hatch as it is held on by multiple metal clips which are hidden. A flat piece of metal is handy to gently prise the plastic off.
The spoiler is held on by 4 bolts under the plastic trim, the holes can be seen in the lip spoiler in the following pictures.

The final picture also shows the brake light cable which needs unclipping before the lip spoiler can be removed. I had to replace the cable ends with some universal connectors as they were different between the ZR and the BRM, however this is an easy process.
Once the old spoiler is off the new one simply slots into its place (there are locating lugs to aid this) and the four bolts are retightened.
Here is the finished result on my car.
