Has anyone bought parts from aliexpress?

I'm looking for the door lights but I want the ones with the Paul Smith stripe pattern. I have only found these on aliexpress but the site doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. If anyone knows of another vendor they recommend that has these I'm good with that.

trustworthy. i got the headlight/taillight rings from there as well as the gas cap cover. considerably cheaper than from the Mini site. non-car related, i bought some baby clothes for my daughter and while not the perfect size match, it did arrive and we used it for her 10-day photoshoot.

all in all, i'd buy from there again if i found something i needed.

I bought my e-sys obd-ethernet cable from aliexpress, with no issues. Keep in mind it's similar to ebay, where you're buying from individual sellers; but they would have dispute resolution services if something does come up.
