Default E36 M3 replica Side skirts VS OEM?

Hello...

How are you doing?
I saw a pair of M3 replica sideskirts made from high quality ABS plastic, wich accourding to the shop is identical to the OEM part.
The price for the pair of replicas is 150 euros VS the 500 euros of the OEM skirts.
At first sight, they really look identical. Are they a good bet? Or am I better saving a bit more for the original parts?

regards!

I don't have pictures.
Yes, they have the jack holes and covers. Two on each skirt.
Are they a good bet?

Regards!

My M3 mirrors are replicas. Electric and heated and I think the quality is great. They are really identical to OEM ones and I paid 150 euros for the pair.



Should I take a chance with replica side skirts?

No, but what's the difference between a replica and the OEM parts. If it looks like the originals and fits, then I say go for it.

I guess i'll give it a try. If I don't like them, I can try selling them here in Portugal and go for the OEM ones. I'll post some more news when I get them.
