there's several clues like subaru stamp etc
The easiest is, the top horizontal part of the spoiler will have small screws on the underside, that's where Perrin Stiffi's would attach. I'm pretty sure all rep spoilers don't have these.
Hope that makes sense

Quick Extra Question Please....
How much is a 2005 Genuine spoiler (sti high level) Worth, may need a respray, Have been offered one @ £150....
Any ideas, as i thought i would be hitting 300 once its been resprayed, and that seems to be the going cost....

A good quality (not ebay ****) replica spoiler is worth that. A genuine one is worth a lot more mate. All depends on finding a buyer that wants that colour.
If it's in good nic, I'd bite their hand off mate

Are they easy to carbon Wrap
(may be cheaper than respraying)

merlin, doing a wrap would probably work out just as expensive if you pay someone to do it properly, not that the spoiler is massively hard to do..
But just as a side point, I've noticed you're chucking an awful lot of money at this car! Would it not be worth just enjoying it as it is for a while, you've not had it long?

Never a truer word Spoken me old mate!
I collect the car today with my fmic on, then final map tomorrow, then thats it for a while.... was just that @ 150 quid for a gen. spoiler was worth a look... As my dear old granmother used to say "F**k em all!" er oH no - not that one.... umm.. oh yes.. "Its pointless being the richest man in the Graveyard"
