Are these genuine Mintex M1144?
« on: August 11, 2014, 06:25:04 pm »
Hey up fella's

Just a quick one, my mintex M1144 turned up today, the box was slightly damaged and I could remove the pads if I tried through the tear in the box.

Now i havent had Mintex pads before, Im sure they are genuine but a lots of pictures show different back plates with big logo's on the back. Can someone confirm that they look genuine.

Also, 2 of the pads had scratches on the back, god knows how much they have banged about, the brakes pad side looks fine thank god.



Scratched ones -  :fighting:

Did it have the manufacturer TMD friction seal on the box? That's a good tell tale it's genuine

years ago when I used to buy them they always came with a blue padding that you stuck to the back of the pad.
