    Are these fake?

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/car-modz-direct-uk?_trksid=p4340.l2563

    "THESE RETAIL FOR OVER 140 ON THE OMP WEBSITE, WE HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF THESE STEERING WHEELS AVAILABLE AT ONLY 69.25. THE REASON FOR THE BIG DISCOUNT IS THAT THE STEERING HAVE BEEN FITTED ONLY ONCE TO VARIOUS SHOW CARS FOR PHOTOSHOOT / DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY WHICH MEANS WE CANT SELL THESE AS BRAND NEW THESE HAVE NEVER BEEN USED IN ANY RACES WHAT SO EVER AND ARE ALL IN 100% MINT CONDITION AND COME WITH A FULL 1 YEAR WARRANTY , GRAB THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BAG A GENUINE BARGAIN!!
    WE ONLY HAVE A FEW OF THESE LEFT NOW SO BE QUICK!"

    Really?


    Just out outright lie that they are used?

    Why not from Rally Design Matt? They are 97 + VAT on there. Unless you managed to get one at 99.

    Didnt pay the 140, Got it from YBRacing website direct for about 130 i think it was delivered.
    Once you add the VAT & delivery on its about the same:thumbup:

    Now i just need some new screws as the black ones that came with the hub/car have rusted stlightly!

    I didn't think those ones were fake, I looked at another auction and it was clear that the ones they were selling were fake. It's not hard to use a different photo though is it! Look forward to seeing what it's like when you get it MK1-Tron. I might just get one of the Rally Design ones :)

    Its landed, it looks fine but im not 100% sure its not a fake, it came in an OMP box and the horn push is the same as the OMP one i have currently fitted. Quality looks to be good. Have a look at the pics and see what you think :thumbup:

    Looks ok to me, Same logo etc. The only thing im not sure about is the red stitching. I'm not sure that is an option and the PN doesn't match it.
    But as long as the quality is fine it's a good buy.

    It's an option in the demon tweaks catalogue, I'm happy with it as long as it does not fall off on the road! Lol joking apart for the money it seams fine :-)
