Agreed. I was able to tuck brake cables up and really smooth the underside if my car.
I have noticed that little spoiler ahead of the rear axle on my wife's 2011 A3 TDI. I have wondered if removing it and installing a belly pan to the rear of her car would be better. FWIW the Mk IV doesn't have that same plastic deflector. The newer VW/Audis have a lip that turns down just before the rear axle. In the pic Ron posted you can see that on the Mk IV it is flush with the axle.
Ron, what year is your TDI?
