Parts that should go in the bin

Post by CovKid »

Just thought I'd start this one off. A list of aftermarket parts that are either so badly made or do not match a T25 despite the claims.

I'll start with the 009 distributor - thump! (noise of one landing in bin) :D

I disagree. I have had convex Hagus mirrors from Brickwerks and GSF and they were just as good as the old genuine mirrors and never moved

However GSF do sell a really dirt cheap £7 mirror that is crap

Cheap JK chrome hub caps. But you can at least reuse them as frisbees... if you dont mind getting rust on your hands.
