Post some photos and we can take a look.

Most of the detail will be inside the lip, where it attaches to the bar and on the rear sides. And obviously the badge.

I'm 85% sure it's genuine. At the very least it looks as good as one.

It's the correct badge and colour; overall fit looks to be very good. It's not bent, or misshaped in any way, like the softer replicas are.

The only way to be 100% sure would be to look inside at the attachment points, but looking at those pics I wouldn't bother. As long as you're getting a good price, go for it :)

And if you're not getting a good price, OTR in Melbourne sell good quality replicas for $260.
