Completely different.
Same look is no doubt copied and made by many companies, Kamei make parts for Japanese cars, Regier goes nowhere near nippon makes.

Hope that clears it up for you Sher.

So why are there Kamei parts for Opels?

Because Kamei make parts for a lot of makes, whereas Reiger do not.
:roll:

I didn't say Kamei only make parts for Japanese cars did I? I said Reiger do not make anything for Japanese cars.!
Thought Sher cleared that up. Must be that Mexican seeping through again, grasshopper.

Both Rieger and Kamei do styling kits/grills etc for most german makes.

Kamei have been producing bits for years, when I had my old Beetle, the styling goodies to have were Kamei front spoiler, and window grill !

Rieger and Lumma are the same company, difference being that Lumma parts are mainly made of fibreglass, the Rieger ABS plastic.

Hope that clears it all up ! :wink:

Just as good !

The good thing about buying any german made part/accessory is that the government states that all parts must pass a TUV test.
Drivers who have parts addes to their cars must carry the TUV certificate for those parts in the vehicle !

I see the TUV certificate as a guarantee of quality. :D
But it also explains the prices :cry:
