We here in the states, one looks at that spoiler and proposes, "that's a JC 
Whitney" spoiler (large mail order aftermarket source renouned for cheezy car 
additions).  Hardly a compliment.  My own thinking is, that if someone told 
me I "had" to have that spoiler on the back of my tt, I'd consider giving the 
car back.  That thing is really ugly to the rear lines of the tt that was 
penned without it.  Function-smunction.  But then again, hanging weights off 
the bumper of any clean sheet designed chassis is an interesting concept in 
and of itself.

I'm with you on the thinking Tom.  I don't think more pix of the rear spoiler 
is what tt owners need right now.
