The shocking price of genuine parts

Of course while we all dislike paying good money for anything, genuine parts make a lot of sense. You can buy them on a part number knowing they were designed to fit, not just adapted. I am particularly impressed with the printed instructions that come with the official accessories now (this is new to me).
Remember you only pay once for the good stuff and as is human nature you quickly foget how much you paid anyway.
There's always an exception, l've just fitted some roof bars. I paid £65 for Thule as the Suzuki part (also Thule) retails at £275, result!
