Hi,

Firstly this poll needs to be broken into 2 parts

1> Mechanical (Engine , suspension , braking etc)
2. Cosmetic.

Now coming to the topic at hand, I would go for genuine spares only when I know a better high performance brand option is not available. For eg in a Maruti you get MGP and SGP parts as well as after market. i would choose SGP wherever possible. Brake pads there are better high performance ones available for almost all cars, Oil I use Mobil 1 hope you get the picture.

Cheap repaired(delhi manufactured) absolute NO.
