I'd be curious to see underneath the grills.
seller sent me some additional pictures - it does look odd from underneath:





no threaded insert for rubber bumpers (and they are installed in the wrong place)
slits for rear seal are very irregular - not OEM looking at all
area where the OEM stamp is usually concave, not convex
extra vent square cutout (but someone could do that)

I can't see if there is the post for the metal rib that bisects the air intakes, nor slots in the openings bc of the grills
but enough uncertainty that it's not worth the asking $ imho
to be fair, it's listed as a replica - so it's not being sold as OEM anyway

The big IF is that there isn't a TITLE description. If it's a junk title, the the car is for parts only.

Wonder why he's selling after putting on just 4000 miles and such a chunk of change for the rebuild. FSI built cars are popping up all over!

The rebuilt engine lasted 3000 miles.

Seller said that it blew up because it ran too hot. Engine was rebuilt AGAIN under warranty 3000 miles later with a third radiator that solved the problem. When asked about what cylinder liners were used when they punched out the block he said he didn't know but that they were a "race shop", implying that they knew what they were doing. So if they were a "race shop" and knew what they were doing, wouldn't they have installed the third radiator during the first rebuild?

I'll be real curious to see what this sells for with its track history. It was left out of the description, but the seller also said in the comments that the last time it was tracked they killed the transmission and it was replaced with a rebuilt one. That was kind of a bid deal to leave out of the description...
