Why you should insist on Ford original parts
We manufacture our replacement parts to the same high standards as our cars. Because, with more than 100 years' experience in vehicle manufacture, we know how important it is to keep your Ford 100% Ford, to ensure the safety of your passengers.
The advantages of Ford original parts
Safety
We’re determined to ensure your Ford protects you, your passengers and pedestrians. So Ford original parts are designed, manufactured and tested to meet and, in many instances, exceed statutory safety standards and homologation requirements.
For example, independent comparative tests by the Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA) in 2006, on behalf of Ford of Europe, showed that the injury risks in a pedestrian collision were up to 17% greater with an imitation Ford bonnet than with a genuine one.
