more than likely a replica, however it is prepainted and not to bad of a price.

Try it out or contact the seller. If it is legit let us know. The only part that concerns me is the colors. Pretty sure some of these are not Audi colors.

Q1 LIQUID BLUE METALLIC

LY3J/C8 BRILLIANT RED

Q4 QUARTZ GRAY METALLIC

9X DAKAR BEIGE METALLIC

LY7W LIGHT SILVER

LY9B/A2 BLACK

LY3C AMULET RED

**Quattro** · 02-28-2010 11:03 PM

i think they are, ly9b is brilliant black

**xULx** · 02-28-2010 11:06 PM

What is amulet red? Some of the names just dont seem right off the top o' my head. Yeah the ly9b is BB.

**Kevinskir** · 02-28-2010 11:07 PM

I know that they are probably replicas, but, better than 600 from ecs tuning (granted they are legit but.. saving money is nice :) ) I will contact the people and see what I can find out, and maybe get some more pics of post installation. My car is black, well technically "brilliant black" so I want to make sure that will match up too. I like the way they look for sure (vortex that is) but I will keep you all posted on what I find out.

**xULx** · 02-28-2010 11:08 PM

Im BB as well, and looking for a set. Def let us know what you find out. Thanks

**Kevinskir** · 02-28-2010 11:09 PM

Also... tried looking for a cupra lip to get prices and I only come up with forums and ppl talking about them, none for sale; am I just dumb for not finding them or are they listed under another name for selling?

**xULx** · 02-28-2010 11:10 PM

I believe you can buy them off the actual Audi site Audi of America

amulet red is an audi color. you know theres other colors besides one offered on the b7 right?

**xULx** · 02-28-2010 11:19 PM

yes, but im confused seeming as the splitter from ebay is for the B7

**Quattro** · 02-28-2010 11:22 PM

ly9b if you are brilliant black.

all those are audi colors, might be from different years or what not, but are colors. The listing has ly9b as just black, go to your trunk look for your paint code and match accordingly.

I bought unpained reps once and the tape was just like that. I would def get these for an awesome price and they're painted!

The install isn't super simple. Your best bet is to put some heavy duty double sided tape on the top part of the spoiler (close to the foglight) and screws and tape underneath.

I wish I could navigate this new forum and find my old posts to show a picture of my old spoilers...

EDIT: Finally...

I got mine from ECS. http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/ES7754/ES7754/

I just made a thread about this last week, general consensus was that it is worth it and that they look good but kind of tough to get them to fit. I will be picking these up soon though, definitely worth it.

Found your thread. Did you end up going with them or not?

**maidest** · 03-01-2010 06:03 PM

I decided I am going to get them, but haven't ordered them yet. I probably will within the next few days, I'll get some pics up and some info on how the fitment is etc. when I get them.

**xULx** · 03-01-2010 06:40 PM

hey if you do it, Ill do it.

**Tusin** · 03-02-2010 10:08 AM

Same? Different?

**maidest** · 03-02-2010 10:52 AM

I believe same seller, and either way it is the same.

**Speedwest** · 03-02-2010 11:15 AM

I bought my splitters från Ebay, painted in LY7W. Pretty good result, the fitting was not 100% accurate on the sides.

**Tusin** · 03-02-2010 10:09 PM

I have heard that the Ebay Votex Splitters stick out quite a bit more than the OEM. Comments?

Also Speedwest, I took a look at your pictures and they look pretty damn good. Of course hard to tell, but how would you rate the color match? And could you take a close up picture of what doesn't fit well? And could that be something that could be corrected with say, better tape/fasteners? Or maybe with a heat gun?

Normally I would never buy Ebay stuff, but considering the price of the OEM Votex splitters, and what you get for that price, and then have to pay for paint on top of it. I am not to sure.

**Speedwest** · 03-03-2010 11:00 AM

Thanks, yeah i´m quite satisfied - but this side is a little loose.. I will fix this before summer with stronger tape.
The colour match is great!

**RAGING_BEAST** · 08-14-2015 05:29 PM

Thread revival...Anyone have fitment tips on these? I got mine and I can tell it's not going to be as simple as using the 3M tape and sticking it on.

**RAGING_BEAST** · 08-16-2015 11:58 AM

Anyone?
