Allright,
so here is some picture of a brand new part bought from a reputable dealer... and this is also why this conforts me into making my own part: Appart from a few top-quality top-dollar part manufacturers, the quality of the rest of what we buy is just garbage.
So here is a switch support plate.

how can you mess this simple piece of metal up ? Well, turns out in many ways.
straight from the box, the paint is coming off.

the embossing is not centered and not even fully applied everywhere.

the surrounding is not even rounder properly.

It's a terrible, terrible part. and this part is not from Amazon, or the Bay, it's from one of the top european part dealer. So why did I buy this ? I did not have very high expectactions and turns out I was right. the reason why I bought this, is because I need one to replace on my car, so that the original one serves me as a TEMPLATE so I make my OWN, high quality, laser cut part.
We all know that quality is going down the drain generally on the mini scene, but common...
