Went to Muhammadi Autos, Murree Road, Rawalpindi for purchasing genuine mirrors after recommendation from a pakwheels member.
He offered me two qualities:
a. Rs. 250/- per pair genuine which comes with new bike
b. Rs. 180/- per pair desi - copy
I bought genuine and came home. When I was installing the mirror I noticed that the new mirror is has different stamp than previous one. Old mirrors have stamp of CL for left and CR for right mirror but the new mirrors have stamp of only S.
Another strange thing I have noticed that the box of mirrors contains a sticker with a text "rub with coin". But there is nothing to rub which clearly shows that the item is not genuine.
Now I have a doubt that either Muhammadi autos are selling copies and claiming them genuine or may be this is a mistake from their salesman. The same is being done by Waseem Autos, Saddar, Rawalpindi.
I am posting pictures for comments.
Especially Amjad bhai, Please comment on this. What is happening? Muhammadi Autos has a huge repute so far but what is this?
