Guest Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 A lot of fake car parts floating about on ebay, particularly NGK spark plugs so beware. I am amazed as well with some of the stuff, even simple goods like stick-on letters that cost me less than the envelope and postage would cost here in the UK.

The brand are fine, they produce excellent plugs, but fake ones have been doing the rounds for ages. Not something you would think of considering the low value, but they are out there. Stick to trusted suppliers and you'll have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
