Title: Centre caps - non OEM
Post by: D Squared on March 27, 2015, 04:47:15 pm

Anyone bought any non genuine ones? £5 each from VW...
Lots for sale on eBay lot cheaper... But any good?
If so any recommendations?

Cheers

Paid £8 for my set on ebay about 6 months ago and they looking rough already!
Gone all sort of faded and water marked

Needless to say im going to Vw to get a set of genuine ones in near future

Hmm guess you get what you pay for... Dealers are £5 each, set off eBay about £8.. Just wondered if any pattern parts were good or not worth the hassle..

Have had one pattern set before now and looked great for a while but didn't last through the winter, maybe some are better than others? But I'll only buy genuine ones now

I bought a set off eBay, for about a tenner.  Put them on November time and look gash already, watermarks and generally grubby.  Hoping genuine will be better

hmm looking like paying double with genuine one's may be worth it...
