the tailgates on all models are the same, its just that some had glue on spoilers & some bolt ons, my bolt on one is totally different in how it sits on the tailgate to the stick on type, be prepared for some serious drilling if yours bolts on as youve got to go through the inner skin as well, you have to make a big enough hole in the inner skin to get a 1/4 drive socket through, good luck as its tricky to line up. ;) :y

I thought the early ones were Irmscher and the later ones were Prodrive ?.

The prefacelift spoiler has a built in brake light. The facelift does not.

Ah right, so it should read, the Prefacelift spoiler has a built in brake light but the Minifacelift and Facelift does not. :P ;D

They are the same as a mini facelift see the pics above( the poster thought they were prefacelift but they are actually minifacelift)
 However, a prefacelift one has I think, a better profile and it will also fit the facelift. Only thing is you would then have 2 high level brakelights! but that might look pretty cool...

Has your early one got a brake light in it?

The Ebay one is for a saloon, not an estate.

The Irmscher ones for estates - some have a built-in brake light, some don't. I've got one here to fit to my mini-facelift estate - it's the variant with the brake light, though whether I'll blank-off the light is as yet undecided, as there's also a built-in light in the tailgate window, which doesn't appear to be obstucted by the spoiler anyway.
