Genuine v pattern body panels

[Barry]

Interesting video from VW here showing how much better their body panels are than pattern parts. Although part of me wonders if they used Chinese parts rather than quality aftermarket.

well the first thing we go for is the genuine used parts as they are already painted in the colour we want you just have to search more and then if not at all in the market then we go for the aftermarket things...

SUPER HILARIOUS, true example of listening what you only want to listen.

Test is only relevant at low speeds like shown any higher OEM or pattern, they are getting crumpled. Most of the safety cones from the monocoque chasis itself. So another attempt by VW to mislead customers. Havent they learnt their lesson yet! 

Unless ofcourse your only concern is glacial speed fender benders

I think the fender bender thing is relevant here in Dubai, more so than anywhere else. Other countries have proper crashes but here it’s mostly slow speed bumper to bumper stuff. You only have to take a walk up your street and you’ll see something with a broken headlight or the bumper hanging off. Not saying the big accidents don’t happen, but they’re less frequent.
