anything from MSport is going to be expensive. 1) it is very low volume 2) it is designed for competition, so maximum effectiveness and lightest weight 3)it comes from England 4)it is carbon fiber

I had read somewhere that the Mini WRC wing takes something like 80 hours of hand labor to complete each wing. Those multiple element carbon fiber wings are stupid expensive.

If anyone caught the Monte Carlo rallye this past weekend; Tanak lost control of his Fiesta RS WRC and stuffed it way out in the weeds. A large group of rallye fans came to his rescue to push the battered Fiesta back to the road. A few of them were pushing on the wing and broke it off the car. One guy looks at it like "WTF, how did this happen?" Tanak takes off and the specator ended up with a RS carbon fiber wing.

look around the 0:57 mark

Being it is a rally wing made for a bit slower overall speeds than a road race wing it likely has more drag that comes along with higher down force at slower speeds and it costs a LOT.

The S2000 wing can be found for a great deal less, less wing, less downforce, less drag perhaps but still a rally wing.

Not sure I will get this done for awhile but I have a APR spec Miata wing that is quite aggressive but only 48" wide and the shape fits the ST pretty well. I have to design the mounts and uprights for it but am busy with many other projects right now.
