Open fog covers
« on: January 31, 2011, 10:17:12 am »
To the people who have bought these from eBay. Do they fit ok etc? They're half the price than the ones from the dealers and if they're ok I'll just get them. Cheers

Go with the oem ones as I seem to remember folk saying the ebay ones don't fit properly.

....Definitely avoid the eBay 'replicas' - Someone here definitely reported problems. Also, some are cut out with too many holes and are very weak as a result. I could have sold mine six times over!

I would avoid the replicas. They dont fit the space fully and often dont fit flush around the fogs without some manipulation. You risk paying for a product that does not fit and just have to buy another set. Speak to a few dealers, find the best price, pay a bit more than e-bay and get the OEM ones that do the job first time!  :happy2:

Personally ive had a different experience. My replicas are fine, perfect fit and they're good quality.

....I've heard there are some good replicas but the problem with sourcing on eBay is knowing who you can trust - It can be a gamble and you can end up throwing away all of the cheaper price you paid. Where did you get your okay ones then?
