[quote][i]Originally posted by Robin[/i] Find out who supplies the original to the 'manufacturer' and buy it elsewhere. No 'manufacturer' in the world makes every part for every car for themselves. Mercedes for example; Filtration is all Mann & Hummel, both logos are printed on their own 'original' filters. They use ZF steering, suspension and gearbox components, again, all marked with both logos. Their brakes are supplied by Textar, labelled as either Ate or Brembo. Everything is available elsewhere, for less money, in the same brand. At my work, we sell ZF (lemforder) suspension arms which have VW/Audi logos ground off as the agreement is that we can't sell them with that logo on, even though from the dealer it still has the ZF stamp on it. It's all a con, dealers charge massive amounts for a box with their logo on, that's all, there's hardly anything they make themselves, you're talking about an assembler rather than a manufacturer to be honest.
