GusPW 0 Posted June 5, 2013 This may be common knowledge but it was a surprise to me. Ordered TRW rear carriers from vwspares.co.uk and what came out of the box are Lucas carriers exactly like genuine ones. Even the rubber boots are girling, same as genuine ones. Only difference seems to be that vw charge about 4 times more! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted June 5, 2013 Yep, I have the same ones on mine. Good guys at VwSpares too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enzo 10 Posted June 19, 2013 That because TRW bought out Lucas/Girling back in '99 for a whopping $6.5 Billion! Everything is now sold under the TRW name, but some of tooling is original as bits are still made with the Lucas name cast into them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GusPW 0 Posted June 19, 2013 ahh, that explains it, hopefully they've maintained the same level of quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
