I have to agree with you there, I'm After a red hatch for my next ZS.

But number one for me will always be a mk2 saloon, simply as that is what I had first, and I love the saloon extreme spoiler

Isn't the spoiler on the hatch also called the extreme spoiler, the only difference being the hatch or saloon version? I only ask as i have been told, at some point, that my hatch has an extreme spoiler and i know the scooby ish saloon version is the extreme one too......

Just asking by the way, i do not know enough about these cars yet (still!) to confirm this myself.....

I thought the saloon spoiler was classed as extreme because it was scooby ish/EVO looking (although) I could be wrong)

Actually, yea, that's a good point, you're correct.

BRB, I need to change something

Yes, both are known as "extreme".

Same here, jetta over golf, derby over polo, montego over maestro (although the front is different as well) etc.

I have a towball mounted cycle carrier that just clamps on or off the ball and folds to fit in the boot -also avoids scratching the car.

I fitted a towbar as much for this as for towing trailers.
