Fake Unbranded Replica Aerocatches - DO NOT BUY!!!

Post by **NafemanNathan** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 10:06 pm

Yeah I checked earlier. I can't recall what the Carbon ones were, but I don't think they were that much. The black non lockable ones were £14.95 delivered, and the black lockable ones were £17.95 delivered.

DO NOT BUY THESE!!!...

They weren't mistreated at all... They're just made of really shoddy plastic

You get what you pay for and all that.

I went through the same with the cheapos,4+ hrs at it and got 1 locked in,2nd snapped upon closing,gutted i was,i swapped back bonnets and went off to work that eve very peed!

Used the company again who swapped to Aerocatches minus the cheapos costing,never looked back.

I was told they had a few complaints of a bad batch

Interesting. I'm in talks with the sellers at the moment. I've asked for a full refund. I don't appear to be getting very far with them, but they have asked to see this thread as I had mentioned I had previously recommended them. Kind of shot that in the foot didn't I!

In the middle of it all I've suggested I possibly had one from a bad batch, as they say they've had no other complaints.

We'll see how it goes

Lets just say there was a huge nooooooooooooooo out of my garage when it happened,i waited months to fit the bonnet in between put offs and distractions and when that latch gave

I've had my hood open dozens of times with the Aero's and never had trouble,they fit in 90% to the copies cut mounts which helped,some of the tightening rivets needed a little more left or right widening but all good.

Do they not stock the Aeros?

Just credit up like did.

Yeah I realised the very subtle differences after I'd bought some Genuine Aero catch nutplates.

I've had a set of genuine Aerocatches on my 4th gen for about 5 years now. They don't get opened hugely often, but this is probably worse for them. Rarely opened on a car that's been stood for 5 years and they still open perfectly each time.

No, I don't believe these guys stock the genuine article. The guy I've been talking to is putting a case together to present to his manager and I'm to hear back within 48 hours

SURELY a full refund is justified. You bought something in good faith and it was not fit for purpose. What else is there to say?!

Post by **NafemanNathan** » Thu May 14, 2015 3:28 pm

This was my arguement. I'll await his response before saying anything more

That old line.

Refer them to the Sales of Goods act, any product that goes faulty within the first 6 months is deemed to have been so at point of sale. A faulty product is not deemed to be of a satisfactory quality and resultantly you are entitled to a full refund.
