Is that the "bee-sting" type or is it different on ED 30?

I think I got mine from @Wooosh (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7405) . Not sure if he still sells them

I replaced the "bee-sting" on my Mk5 GTI with one of these from "Car-masts-uk" for £17.55 + postage. It looks and functions identically to original.

Also got one of the "stubbies" but doesn't work quite as well and I prefer the bee-sting look.
