BTW, I think I figured how to add the badge to sig line, and attempting to post a pic of my Clubby's dirty hind end... sweet - it worked :-)

OK, that checks with my previous experience with several VW squarebacks back in my youth, including the one that blew/broke a piston ring and promptly coated the back door with well-used motor oil.

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front); how many different spoilers/airfoils/wings for the Clubman are out there and who has first-hand before and after experience with them? Did you drive an unmodified Clubman long enough before adding the "appliance" and what did you notice about both performance and how fast the back doors got grubby? With the really bad weather here in the UK these past few days, MINI-Fred needs a bath just about daily!

I would love to be a guinea pig for these Clubman spoilers if it meant my car's butt wasn't dirtier than a baby's in an unchanged diaper.
