You could fit both within a couple of minutes with ease.

Afaik the only difference is the back of them have a small duct type channel which the fakes don't... Seriously not worth the extra cash, you could spend the savings on a complete set of interior chrome switches.

My girlfriend has a set of replica ones fitted to her GTI, you can not tell the difference unless you stare at them long enough.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!
