Is it the backrest you mean? Where it seems to recline a little bit? Yes, this is a known problem, I’ve seen several people report it. I think I’ve noticed it to some small degree in my car too.

It’s one whole piece. It’s bolt on, and actually not a very difficult DIY job afaik. The dealers is obviously where you go to get one new. I think they’re at least 1k. A German shop has it here, and it looks like they come pre painted:

Or you might get lucky in a breakers yard.

The sump is plastic, it may be worth checking that it isn't cracked. It could also just be spillage from where it has been topped up.

If I wanted to fit one to a normal GTI, is it the whole spoiler I need or is it an extension fitted onto the back of the standard GTI spoiler?

Also does anyone know the best place to pick one up?

TIA

I preferred everyday use.
That's why I didn't think about PP.

I’d have been the same to be honest.
The red tipped wheels and black exhaust are unique to the Ed50 and the suspension should be a tad more useable for standard (quick) road car use so I’d have stuck with a regular non PP version.
