Twas I that started that thread, and have done a fair bit of research into it, basically if your not to fussy get this part it will fit and look good and to the untrained eye look good, however under close inspection gaps can be seen where there shouldnt be gaps..

Im a fussy fecker bit of a perfectionist so I am holding out for a OEM one...

I think a lot of people will say buy cheap buy twice. I think the best option for a lot of people is hold out for the right OEM one  :happy2:
