Ok guys, I need 2 of these for my 8. Cost from dealer after discount £54 for both or I can get the Mann ones from CPFL for £19 each. In the pictures the Mann ones look like a paper effect where as the dealer ones are like fluffy cotton. What would you use?
Cheers

Mann are OE suppliers I believe. No problem at all using them.

I get mine from TPS genuine manufacturer. I'm sure i got it for much cheaper than what you've been quoted. I usually tell them that i'm a cab driver and they give me a significant discount of upto 37% off service parts.

Seriously! That’s a good deal. I don’t have a tps account, maybe get you to order for me
