Ask the seller for the part number that will be stamped on it, then the Etka boys can check it for you.
There are a lot of copies nowadays.  :wink:

Looks like you got it for a reasonable price....if it were Tornado Red I would have jumped at it.

I'm pretty sure the vortex version has a slightly different lip

edit... this is the vortex version http://vr-division.com/image/golf%20bkit.JPG
and the ed30 one..http://www.pistonheads.com/pics/news/17649/Golf%20GTI%20Edition%2030%20005-L.jpg

definately looks like a ED30 lip spoiler to me :happy2:

The main difference between a ed30 and votex spoilers is that the ed30 is one solid piece where as the votes has a gap between the lower lip and top where it fits the bumper if you now what i mean :confused:

You can't really tell, even if they post pics of the stamp as the copies are made from a mould that was made from a genuine splitter

very true... eBay is a minefield. All looks ok to me... But no one seems concerned that the colour is non standard. Is this cause it's likely someone with a non ed30 may have had it first?

precisely why I wanted confirmation, thanks for the replies- I had just taken the plunge after seller confirmed part no.
1K0 805 903 J, you could not see it on the pic! got it for £160 + p&p, hopefully its a genuine one   :scared:

Thanks for posting the part number, anyone know the price from VW? I may call them later, but I do know it's ridiculously expensive.

Post pics when you get sorted mate. Good luck.

Think I paid around £200 with very little discount. Usually they give me a good 10-15% but they said the margins are too low on these for anything more than a few % off!
