Nothing equals original OEM quality ime. OEM may be expensive, even a rip off but copy parts are cheaper for a reason.

Kidney grills are a prime example OEM fit perfectly, copies simply don't.

Oh hello btw

I second the above. Having bought pattern parts in the past (Chinese knock offs) and not had them fit correctly (usually loose), it wasn’t worth the price. OEM is the way to go. If you have a look at RealOEM that will give you the part numbers that you need.

Thanks for the options but I also know that sometimes parts are made for manufacturers but just branded under other names

You can have your original covers wrapped of course or if black is an option have them painted.

Buy a used pair, they don't have to match, and experiment with different refinish options.

Not entirely sure what you meant by "winged ones"?
