its swings and roundabouts really, and come down to personal preference and budget, some people are happy to spend the extra knowing they are getting genuine parts, where as others are happy to have a copy parts.

As said when it comes to body kits you're paying for the ease of fitting and the higher quality material, if you're getting someone to fit the kit for you, then the money you save on the copies can easily be lost in labour when they come to line up the copy kit, obviously this isn't a problem if you fit it yourself.

at the end of the day how much you want to spend on your car is your choice

i would personally not have anything fibreglass on my car, moreso on the front, because it just doesn't hold paint aswell as plastic, so in 5-6 months it'll be covered in crack and stonechips, well thats what hapeed to mine anyway, would maybe get a fibre glass spoiler, but thats about as far as i would go.

just my personal choice though.

however, i've never had a problem with plastic pattern replacements., but i've probably just been lucky
