If you like the look of a smaller, less conspicuous spoiler, Chewy8000 found that an Audi TT spoiler bolts right up:

It's a nice look, IMO.

The look of spoiler-less Sharks is so subjective. If a wing or spoiler is removed for a clean look, the rear wiper has to go as well. The S4+ wings do a decent job to cover that wiper (who uses theirs, BTW?). Sans wing, that doodad really jumps out at you.

Living up here in Seattle, I use mine occaisionally, but more because its there, and out of curiousity, than for its functionality.

And wingless 928s, yes, they rock.

For the S4, the painted ones look way better. Someday I want to paint mine to match. I agree that the black ones/non-body color matching ones look 80's tacked on.

I rather the later model(88-95) S4/GTS have wings/Rear spoiler. It completes the car.

It's cool looking, but does it exist?

Ah Yes. The wonders of Photoshop. It really would be cool though. It kinda reminds me of the Maseratti Ghibli and Merak roofline. And of course, it looks just great with the wing whacked!

IMO the rear wiper needs to go when you take the wing off.

Somebody needs to do a chopped 928, without spoiler. That in combination with GTS rear fenders and wide wheel tire combo would be crazy. Supercharge it and you have one mean german hot rod.

It was the last owner's plate! Shame I didn't get it!
No, they are taken on top of the ridge behind Prudhoe, I live in Wylam, so that's the testing grounds!!

Where abouts in Newcastle are you?
