How to identify a fake momo steering?

[gsr-sam]

I recently bought a momo gotham at kakimotor...trusted them as they claimed that they are the sole distributor of Momo Italy. However upon installation I saw that the momo writing written on the bottom spoke was offset to the right and the laser engraving of the word momo behind the steering wheel was also offset till the marking was partially off the steering. Being a reputable brand such as momo I found it difficult that they would have such bad QC. I was wondering if this are the signs that this steering is a fake?

errr..same as mine..but i just buy at brothers....rm200 if i remember...


the only thing i found different from ori was the stiching quality of the read thread around...(mine la)


other than that not sure..

the thicknes of spoke...besi...ori 1 about 3mm...and cap ayam 1 I think less
quality of stiches...
prices...ori brand nu about rm500
and overall finishing...
senang cakap...once u compare this 2 type of steering side by side...u can instantly identified either ori or not

other than the momo stamp behind and the offset momo print in the front...the build quality is really gorgeous. I guess it should be ori coming from them. Anyhow thanks for the input. We should start a thread on this. At least eveyone can refer when getting a new momo.

This is how to identify either its FAKE or Authentic piece. We know Kakimotor is huge dealer, but what I can say some of their 'Branded' stuff are made from Taiwan & some of them 100% ORIGINAL. That was my just crappy 1 cent. Yet still I'm happily shops with them. Only trusted ori stuff. :proud:

maybe the number u saw is not serial number, its model number...then its logic to be same...but serial number i not sure got or not...anyway authentic and fake/replica can see the quality and the material...quite obvious..especially funny funny font n engraving so on....
