I recently purchased a Mtech 1 rear spoiler which I was told is genuine.
It has the marking saying something like Elasto... Heckspoiler and a part number on the bottom left as if you were looking at it on the car.

However when looking at others for sale I see that they have a little BMW logo and part number 1923965 on the left instead.

Does this mean I have a fake?
Any help on markings and what to look for would be great.

thanks

Heckspoiler is German for rear spoiler.

Stick the number in to RealOem to check and to be honest a photo or two speaks a thousand words.

The Typ Number is the same also I thought there where two variants one with edging one without.

What was it advertised as?
