Default Ford or Pattern Parts?

Hey guys, I need to get a new pair of front wings for my MK1 Fez before I go and get it resprayed later this year.

I can get hold of a pair of "Pattern" ones for £20.

Is there much difference between Genuine and Pattern parts?

Thanks

Most if not all the pattern ones are done on ex ford stamps/dies anyway, as would not be cost effective to make tooling for such low volume stuff.
I used Hadrian panels on my sapphy and you can't tell the difference if fitted right.
