Mine arrived today  :happy2:

Very pleased with initial look/feel. I know is never going to fit aswell as OEM. But must say very impressed with this one. As made out of plastic is very flexible (can twist and bend for better fitting) like the genuine one would be, plus has side fitting kit which will allow adjustment for better fitting. The tags look like are all in the right place, plus the underside tags are easily flattened so fitting them will be as same as OEM.

For the money (£98) versus OEM (think current price for a Votex one is £250 plus VAT) I would say this particular one is good value for money. Will drop off at the body shop this week.

Some pics:

Packaged up very well:






Fitting kit:




Plastic backing unprimered:



Side, front and underside all has primer:

The gap looks pretty poor, all over the place. Do you think this will change once it's fitted and te tabs pull it out?

I've yet to open mine yet. Will post photos when I do.

Just to make people aware, The ebay listing states there is only 1 left... Ive just ordered 1 so that could have been the last....

I ideally wanted to wait & be sure of the quality and fitment but at £100 its worth the risk rather than missing out!

Will get pictures up when arrives!  :happy2:
