There is no definitive answer to ‘genuine’ regarding our cars anymore I’m afraid.

Some parts will be made using the same machines, tooling and materials, others won’t! Unless you are part of the production process then you can only speculate what I’d ‘genuine’ and what isn’t.

I have moulded plastic parts for various automotive manufacturers over the years, as an example the old rubber bumpered tvr used the same moulds, materials (and the guy doing the job) in the mid 2000s as it did when production first began.

One of the Nissan models has the spec of the plastic changed to a ‘cheaper’ version 3 years after launch...
