    S3 Spoiler Question

    Hey guys (and gals), First post here, been an 8P owner for almost a year now. "Not another spoiler thread" is probably what you're thinking, but it's a legit question! I'm looking at fitting an S3/S-Line spoiler to my non-S3/S-Line A3 (Special Edition, no not even the SE model). I'm looking...
