Quote from: KieronI think it was a fair comment, I hate those eBay cars, you can tell that from rims, to poor fitting kits and lights it was all brought on eBay. Ultralite rims are my hate :flamed

I think we often need to be more supportive of the innovative tuners in this market.  All of these cheap copy parts seriously de-value the original parts and can put at risk the original tuners who made them.  Now if these tuners went bust I\'m sure everyone on here would say it was a crying shame, even a lot of the same people who are running around with nothing but copies of their parts.

It\'s the same with the RX-7 market at the moment, people can\'t sell good cars for the money they are worth because of the amount of cheap, poor quality cars about going for nothing (which a lot of people complain about because it directly affects them).  All of these are damaging the retail price of the good examples and it\'s the same with copy parts.  These copies are damaging the original tuners who make this stuff but people don\'t seem to mind because it\'s not them it affects.

An original Scoot bonnet costs a lot, something around 1.5-2K which is a hell of a lot but they are amazing.  Problem is the market is flooded with copies of this bonnet for a lot cheaper money which I\'m sure has meant that Koseki-San has sold a hell of a lot less of these than he would have otherwise done.  This also leads to the problem that anyone who would have bought an original would now think twice (myself included) because every other car has a Scoot copy on it.  Having a Scoot bonnet is no longer a special thing which is a real shame as it\'s an amazing design.  I understand why copies are made for a cheaper price so people can make a quick buck and supply demand but if these people have the facilities to make bonnets why not make something original instead of taking from the tuners who have helped build this market that earns them a living?
