x2. The GTI and R32 spoiler has an integrated brake light. You'll brake your's trying to remove it to fit the new one. Better sourcing a votex spoiler which fits round your 3rd brake light and looks a lot better imho.

Out of interest, how much did you pay? Something like £36 from the dealers last time I asked.
