Nice choice on the Rota's. They're street only wheels but they still look good. Ditch the spoiler IMO. The door bumpers need to go also IMO. Then just throw some NIAbodykits headlight eyebrows on it. Lean and clean!

My car came with the spoiler but it's an RS3 and for resale purposes, I'm going to leave it on since Blizzard White Pearl isn't gonna be easy to paint match. Trust me, the hood was an endeavor on it's own

For you though, I'd recommend going with a Viniati rear spoiler because it covers those holes and they're not that expensive. They're low profile extended lip spoilers.

Yeah i understand about matching the paint. But to be honest the tC looks a lot cleaner with out the stock spoiler. Nice OEM lip is all you need.

^ he's worried about the holes so it might save some headache to sell and swap the one he has now. On silver, I like my idea but the OEM lip on super white is the only way to go IMO. If I could go back in time, I'd get a SW not an RS3 but the deal at the time was too good to pass up. That and I never planned on going boosted or dumping as much money into the car as I did lol.
