they are fake


sell them to me for a tennor

 

ask a silly question, get a silly tvvat replying

 

I'm pretty sure they have a ford stamp on them mate

 

just put em on ebay and it WILL make good money.

I sold a fugged ss zorst on there for 200 quid

 

Nah they are fake, as said sell em on.






















I need a set

 

I have genuine ones and I cant remember them having a Ford stamp but haven't really looked to be honest-maybe mine are fake

 

cheers ppl, think i will keep them for my next escos

 

how much these go for now?

 

just checked a new Ford supplied set and no markings on them at all - I believe the way to tell genuine from repro is on the genuine ones the adjuster on the side with the allen key in it is injection moulded plastic with a metal wire clip, where as the repro one have a metal fabricated set up with no plastic

 

Hi mate

to be honest what difference does it make if they are genuine or not ??

I have a set of gen ones and a set of copy's and to be honest the copies are better made and look identical in everyway

if thats the case then the set i got of ebay last year are genuine, they were advertised as ford ones, came wrapped in a ford bag but had no part no on the bag or grills.
cheers for that

 

hi marco, i bought them they were advetised as genuine, just woundering if they were.
your car looks awesome in this months PF

 

Hi Steve

thanks , what i have found with the gen ones is that you can take them all apart the mesh part can seperate from the clips they are only held in with little plastic like screws


if you look at the front of them with the mesh infront of you just behind the mesh at each corner you will see the litle plastic clips they look like a very tiny plastic poprivit thats one way of telling

or if you post a pic on here i'll tell you if they are gen or not

cheers marco

 

The originals are not stamped with a part number or a Ford logo but do have an R and an L stamped into them i'll let you work out why

 

cheers spadge, could you tell me what the L & R means cos i'm, a bit dim

thanks Marco, i'll go have a look at them
