    I bought replacement wipers from my MINI dealer and the drivers one had the spoiler on it.

    I would have thought that having two wiper blades on with spoilers attached would unnecessarily increase the drag on the blades when the car is at speed, and might cause problems in the long term with the motor/mechanism. (fond memories of Classic Mini wipers which would only operate when the windscreen was wet enough... and would lift off the screen at speed....)
