Thanks, Colonel. Appreciate the seat-of-pants info.

100% agreement... worst angle has to be straight from the rear.

I've concluded Audi Gmb had the "fix" with the spoiler alone...
understandably, I've also reasoned they could not afford to pull-up short with any mods and went for full overkill given the historical bust of "intended bad reporting" by CBS.<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/cbsigx.jpg" borders="0">

We referred to it as USAF's version of Newton's laws...
"For every action there is an UNEQUAL and opposite OVER-REACTION."
I think you are absolutely right on this.
They did give Mk I's the option of spoiler only, didn't they?

If you really want to get rid of the spoiler...
Offer to trade your rear hatch with a unspoiled 180. There are some who are adding spoilers voluntarily, so you can just trade with one of them. Will probably cost less than removing the spoiler, and will look better than a removed-spoiler hatch could ever look.
Of course, it may be tough to find a unspoiled DG coupe, but it's worth a shot.
