Look if it's not an official VW MK2 earth strap then you may as well go and fit a Jap Wing to the back.  :laugh:

Love Thom's Ethos
Love everyones poor assness (me included!)

If I have the time, money and its in stock yes OEM can't beat a bit of OCDness
If I'm broke and can't be arsed and found some crap insulated strap lying on the garage floor looking sorry for itself and needs a bit of TLC strapping its on and forgotten!  :evil: advocate

PS better to have sh*t on it, than not! :lipsrsealed:

Sometimes certain OEM parts are sh*t and custom parts make for a better job for the function.  OEM headlight wiring for example, sh*t.  Custom made upgraded loom = Awesome

So true my Raddo ones are far better than stock, my life is worth more than OCDness!
