Please help someone!!!
how can I To verify that they are original or not????

The genuine ones fit much better and are sturdier, I've seen a few fake sets and they are instantly resogniseable, they dont keep their shape correctly and just don't fit right

Not sure how to verify just from looking at a set of arches on a table, but if you're looking at a main company, if they say they are real and they cost twice the price, then chances are they are real.

I can't remember how but there is some form of marking inside the geniune ones (i think they have the Rover Logo on or something)

hmmm..
I cannt try to fit now, because my mini is not prepared jet
but I found one guy who selling these arches for low price, used of course and I dont know how to check them

yap, maybe ther are some kind label, I hope

thank you

There is a raised serial number on the inside of the arch, no number and its not a real one.
I have some for sale.

I mulled over whether to go for genuine or not for month. Went fiberglass non-gen from a reputable source and they were *rubbish*.

Always go genuine.

Yes, Thank you !!!

Original arches have numbers on every single item!
