    the site says "The listed products are mainly new after-market parts. Unless specified
    (New Genuine)"

    so theyre an aftermarket copy of the vy mirror, not genuine.

    genuine holden? genuine fakes? genuine plastic? genuinely friendly?

    If you mean genuine holden it's a bit tricky to tell from the pic. I didn't use the link but if they say so then perhaps they are... Does it make much difference? (i don't know much about mirrors it seems...)

    Even if they are aftermarket it will not make a difference in the end, they are just mirrors. In terms of not lining up right. Unless the product is cheaply made but otherwise I'm sure they take care in making it fit as it should.

    Those guys have some harsh negative comments there. I'd be cautious of that one. But then again what are the chances of them stuffing up your order.
