its beyond stupid.
yes branded parts carry a premium, however safety parts like pads, seats, seat belts etc are there for a reason.

Yes, I completely agree. Although cabin filters will not make the car less safe imho. But if I’m a couple of clicks away from getting a 5gbp aftermarket filter compared to stock OE 25gbp filter….than why not. Not to mention other things like liquids….You get Castrol/Mobil/Motul products for a fraction of a price of stock liquids from the nissan service dealers….and they are not mickey mouse parts, they are actually better than stock. Also Alcons or AP rotors are considered better than crossdriled cracking OE rotors from Brembo…and they cost 50% less…
And the fact that the same exact nissan stock pars differ in price by up to 200/300% tells you, that they are overpriced…
Also, why I opened this thread….I held in my hand stock Air Filter for 50gbp and Blue Print Air filter for 7gbp…they looked and felt exactly the same, almost as if the same company made them….but non the less I decided for the more expensive stock air filter (x2)…I don’t want to damage the inside of the engine if the “cheap” air filter disintegrates…
And I always like a good deal….:chuckle::chuckle:
