I just purchased these on eBay and there advertised as genuine. The finish of the actual item is very poor. Can anyone confirm that ther fake or genuine please before I send them back.
Cheers.

normally the back is webbed and not solid like you show, but the fit and finish of them doesn't look anything like the standard that mugen would produce tbh

Sounds suspiciously cheap for mugen stuff, but at the end of the day they're pedals for you to tread all over, if quality of finish really that much of an issue? As long as they look ok in the footwell I'd probably take cheapness over quality

I was planning on buying a genuine set, I wasn't bothered about paying full price but for the sake of some packaging I thought I'd give these a go as the seller has good feedback.
If I wanted a fake set I can get some for £10 but I want genuine to match the other bits I'm getting for the car :(

i would say if you want genuine and you are willing to pay for it, i suggest that you buy from mugen retailer only. anything else will be seen as copy.

Don't understand why they wouldn't have the genuine packaging etc. other than someone getting round import declaration etc.

Which bit is ment to be webbed? The lay out looks like all the pictures I've found it's the quality that's poor :(

Do you not see the spelling mistake in the title?

He wrote 'Genuine Mugen' where he should have spelt it 'KNOCK OFF FAKE'

That's what I will do once someone can confirm that these are.

Those are the Chinese fakes are are £20 on eBay

To be honest once fitted you'll not really be able to tell the difference

But paying £40 was not a good deal in any way at all
