John, I take your point about the paint/filler (and these trims fit over the rubber seals). But it was the profile that did not match. You can see this in my second photo. The 'bullet' end is more blunt. And it was longer. On top of that, it seemed to have a piece filed off it (see photo)..
To be honest I didn't mind that I would have to scrape off 2 layers of cement/glue from the inside. Neither also that there was traces of mustard yellow repaint followed by signal red on the chrome side. But I did expect it to be a match in shape. Fair play to the guy, when I called him he did point out that he'd never said it wouldn't be a second hand part.... But I did expect it to look like one of the shiny new looking ones on the website photo. especially as it was £195
What I didn't like was that the guy was uncontactable after I'd sent it back...
