The DMGRS ‘new’ ones are stamped DMGRS. So there can be no doubt about the veracity of the item. They spent a lot of money upfront to get these made for us Rover/MG owners.

A small update, tried Facebook marketplace and a few other sources but to no avail.
Sent Rimmer's a message via Facebook and the reply states the genuine mgr arms are made in china, not India. (My message simply asked if the genuine mgr arms were made in India) As I understand it, if xpart supply parts to companies such as Rimmer's, Rimmer's and the such can advertise these as "genuine" simply because xpart was the original supplier to mgr, xoart approach companies to manufacture required components to "requirements". All things considered, I could really do with the car back in the road but.. is this going to be another one of those cases of paying more and not getting the quality, if I just wait I could save 100 quid and have the dmgrs arms that as far as I can tell haven't had a single complaint. Been here a few times before unfortunately then regretted and ended up paying out twice due to duff parts. Would it be best just to wait? Thanks Rob |

I had DMGRS upper and lower arms fitted this past weekend. Chris reported that they fitted exactly and that he was impressed with them.
Hope this helps Regards Geoff |

So if Rimmer's claim to have the Chinese ones, a detailed photo should prove it. Now if DMGRS could do the same with genuine 88 deg V6 thermostats those in the know would avoid the Xpart ones and DMGRS would be the one stop source for those too. Regards |

Even your first photo of what you say are the Indian arms have the anti-roll bar mounting in the centre which is usually the give away for the Indian arms which aren't centralised. Confused. And Rimmer's can slap 1000 hologram stickers on them for all I care, I wouldn't buy them anyway, the only source I trust is the little corner shop outfit DMGRS and not the once mighty and trusted Xpart. Thanks anyway |

Because when they arrived they were individually sealed in bags, with stickers with the part number on, and ‘made in China’ written on it. The one without the elephant logo had ‘made in India’ on it. Honestly don’t know/can’t remember about the brackets, it all bolted up together fine, and the car sat and drove fine, with no knocks or unusual noises. But like I say, I’d got rid of the car within a year. And from checking to see if it was currently taxed, I believe it’s since been scrapped. Shame as there were a lot of new parts on it, but hey ho.
