How do you know if Lotus parts are genuine? The experts at Bell & Colvill Horsley offer a quick guide to help you make an informed choice and ensure the best for your vehicle. Our team are always on hand to offer advice and guidance so give us a call if you want to find out more.
What is the difference?
Genuine parts, often known as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, are parts that are made by the same manufacturer as the vehicle. These parts are exactly the same as the parts that came with your Lotus originally, so you get the guarantee of reliability and exceptional performance.
Aftermarket parts are those made by a third party, often in response to demand for more affordable parts and greater availability. Because OEM parts can be difficult to source at times, aftermarket parts offer a readily available and cheaper alternative. The downside is that aftermarket parts may not deliver the same levels of performance as genuine parts.
How to identify genuine parts
The best way to be sure you’re getting genuine Lotus parts is by going to an approved dealer who has been authorised by the original manufacturer. At Bell & Colvill, for instance, we are an approved supplier of genuine Lotus parts so you can always be sure you will only get the best from us.
