I found the spoiler change!! I had to leave on a mission from jeebus( change a starter in a broke down gm 150km out of town at 2pm)
I’ll post pics later, it’s pretty subtle but the 17’+ has a line around the rear of the top edge that follows around to the side. The 15 is smooth across the top rear edge. I suck at explaining 2+2 to my kids, I’ll just take pics on Monday if I don’t go to work tomorrow.

Just had a look at a brand new European Mirage/Spacestar at the dealer.
It has exactly the same front air dams as my mine, built in June 2014.
It has no(!) rear air dams.
Obviously there are more regional differences than assumed...

I've wondered how much turbulence is created by the door handles. taping them over would yield better airflow x 4 but then how do you get in?
I'm curious about the rear spoiler. I'll park my '14 and '17 side by side and take pictures.

Seriously, what other group of car owners will grope their spoilers looking for changes from year to year!!!
Damn, we're a weird lot.
Anddddd.....Joining spoiler gropers anonymous is yours truly.
I actually didn't need to grope anything. I could see the well defined ridge on the back of my '17 spoiler. I'm very curious how much was improved with such a small change, considering we drive all of 70-85mph top speed for the most part. I get a small change like that on an F1 car going 200mph can make a world of difference but on our little marvels?

So that line and wider/less tapered mounts. Interesting.
