Practical fitment guide
What photos are needed to verify a car part?
A photo checklist for identifying and comparing Chinese car parts before dispatch, including labels, connectors, mounting points, and orientation.
Capture every identifier
Photograph stamped, printed, engraved, or sticker part numbers without glare. Include the vehicle VIN plate separately.
Show interfaces
Capture connectors, pin counts, hose outlets, bolt patterns, brackets, and mounting points. These details often separate near-identical variants.
Record orientation and condition
Show left or right orientation and any damage, corrosion, broken clips, or repaired areas that could hide the original shape.
Short answer
Is one photo enough to verify a car part?
Usually not. Identification normally needs the complete part, readable numbers, connectors, mounting points, orientation, and vehicle details.
