hi guys,
Bought this off ebay the other day, It's listed as genuine, but when it arrived I was not so sure, They have assured me it is, but want a second opinion before I get it sprayed up for the car.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Phew, just worried me a bit as the middle bit looked a bit squashed, may alter once it's fitted as the plastic will droop down to how it should be I presume.

If it's not, you can sell it to me Al  :happy2:

After the experiences I have had with fake parts I would not wish it on anyone mate!

part number matches up http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/1km071609/ES4547/

Just checked the site,

Note: this item is no longer available.......  :sad1:

@ Big Al, for what it's worth I think it's fake, and a very poor fake at that, but as its you I will take it off your hands until you can get a real one!!  :grin:

EDIT:  This could be a nice add on to the splitter - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Bumper-Lip-Spoiler-Splitter-VW-Golf-V-VOTEX-/310328974683?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item48410c5d5b
