Title: Real or Fake in:Pro Mirror Indicators
Post by: LC5F on February 01, 2020, 04:30:33 pm
I thought I was being clever sourcing some in:pro black mirror indicators from Germany, when they arrived the inner box had labels removed like this:

The paperwork included instructions and a TUV certificate - both photocopied.
The actual indicators don't say in:pro on them at all.

Any in:pro experts out there who can confirm if these the real deal or have I bought a Sauerkraut?

that box isn't original.
This is what the genuine box looks like:

Any chance you could check if they say in pro on them? ...probably already on the Golf!

The thing I didn’t mention was one was damaged, raised a paypal claim rejecting them, asking for refund - they just ignored me and have sent a replacement

They are on the car, sorry...
afaik InPro went out of business a few years ago so you'll probably only get genuine ones second hand.

I just google the in.pro part number 43574 to the max, after a few pages up they pop!
To be fair they look well constructed:
