Well, I'm going through some spoiler repair issues myself at the moment (on 
my Scirocco) and can tell you that it will be much cheaper to just buy a 
whole new spoiler, than it will be to have this one fixed.

Looks like a classic case of GT5 spoiler whanging a sharp incline--dyno 
ramps perhaps?   Those things are always a gotcha, not only because they are 
low, but because they are so far forward of the axle centerline.   

At least it's just a fiberglass spoiler; the GT5-S has the same clearance 
issues except the front end is steel, and thus it's much more expensive to 
fix.

I figure you're probably looking at about a $1000 fix, tops.

Mike
