It's just a pattern part, it'll have been made to the same drawing under license.

Even if it is naff, it only has to last 50% as long as the original for you to be in profit.

When I replaced mine I bought an original one from VW about a year ago and it is still fine. Wish I could of found this one though and saved myself some money
