It is the responsibility of you, the customer, to ensure the items ordered by you are correct for your application, prior to installation or painting, etc. All dimensions of products supplied must be noted and checked by you. Many of the products are of a technical nature and although our software is as advanced as possible, we cannot always guarantee that a specified part will be a correct application part particularly as models overlap when new models are launched.
