I have to say, should never ignore anything that has a purpose. For the record, I only use manual spoiler switch when driving on mountain roads in order for cooling and downforce despite dropping below 37mph. There are hairpins and then open straights without hitting 74mph. Thus, having it manually up keeps the car planted in the odd speeds. Anyway, you can see it through rearview, tip of it sticks up.
You have a nice car mate, and you will enjoy. Trusting, of course, you do not let it be a garage queen. They like being wrung out.

I was being slightly sarcastic. A much more satisfying way to verify proper operation is to drive your car fast.
I wasn't aware of this, learn something new every day. A few other people have since posted that the C2 spoiler should still be visible though - so I stand behind my earlier advice.

I have a pair of comfort seats from a 2004 turbo, Black leather, lumbar heat etc... that you can have if you come pick them up before next weekend. We are moving and I DON'T WANT TO LUG THEM AROUND anymore.

When simple things turn not so simple...
So I've been fixing minute issues here and there, like new radio ***** and frunk struts. Tonight I tried to replace the broken parking light on the passenger side. Got the lighting unit out no problem, but I'll be damned if it doesn't feel like the access cover is glued in place. I nearly destroyed it trying to remove it. It's still on there right as ever. Any suggestions?

A little squirt of wd40 towards the threads and let it sit a bit?

I really don't remember, but could it be that you turn it to the left to unlock, and then to the right to lock it in?
No wait...the manual says: Parking light - PULL parking light holder out of the headlight reflector, then after replacing bulb, PRESS holder into the reflector.

One thing I don’t see mentioned is to make sure the pse hoses are a pneumatic system, so when you push the dash mounted pse button, it sends air threw the tubes (connected to the top of the muffler) which causes the flaps to open. It’s possible the disconnected the hose/hoses to do the repair and forgot to reconnect. I always start with the free/easy fixes first before you start replacing parts.
