Rear Spoiler question???
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/42826/90q1.jpg"></center><p>
My rear spoiler has couple support in the middle and i've seen some out there with just one piece and nothing in the middle. Does this mean mine is an add on? Which ones are original?

Re: Rear Spoiler question???
Not sure if this also applies to the US, but:
- two middle supports on type 89 (80/90 both in US and Europe)
- no middle supports on type B4 (80 in Europe, 90 in US)
They are exchangable, as the mounting mechanism is identical. There's a much easier method to determine whether it's fake or da real thang: the OEM spoilers are made in one piece of hydroformed aluminum and are hollow, while cheap aftermarket crap is made of any sort of plastics.

I meant to say NOT two in the middle. The car you have pictured there should not have that spoiler.
I was at work and in a hurry to get something out. If you ever have any more stupid questions like this check out http://www.elcats.ru/audivw/ you can see what came with what and when.<ul><li><a href="http://www.elcats.ru/audivw/">Look here!</a></li></ul>

There was a dealer fit option for the B4's that was a plastic spoiler with 2 posts...
the posts are a slightly different shape to the aluminium B3 spoiler, but its an audi part none the less!
