And was it any good?[/quote]

Once you factor in the postage you may as well get the genuine article from the dealer for another £25 or so.

Also, fixing method appears to be polyurethane glue, which isn't too clever for something that's quite likely to scrape kerbs, etc. The clips used to fix the standard BMW item are designed to break or release the lip in these circumstances without causing damage to it.

The spoiler in the ebay ad' does have the holes for oem clips but whether they line up or not is a different story.

Dont be that guy that puts ebay sh*te on his car... get the real deal - it will only look the way it should: original.

As magpie says mite be worth a go if cheaper than 2nd hand one. Can't imagine brand new from bmw is cheap as realoem.com states 238 dollars. I've had the Volvo lip before on my last e30 so anything is going to be a better fit than that!
