Default Genuine Mg Rover Shocks

Anyone bought any genuine MG Rover shocks from Xpart network at all recently?

I went ahead and got a pair at a good price, Genuine parts etc etc, but they are labelled up as BWI industries, which is Bejing West Industries...

Now, I know I can get proper Delphi ones of Best of British, but just wondered if anyone else had received these chinese ones off Xpart sources?

Sigh...

Edit:-Upon some further googling, it transpires that Delphi is no longer, and the chassis dynamics department was sold to BWI when it filed for bankruptcy

So, perhaps all is good...

As far as I am aware BWI have a stake in Delphi.

From what I can find with Google, it looks like they're pukka - I guess we'll find out if some of them do fail. I don't see why they would, though.
