Hi,



Perhaps you are asking if they are always new. No, they may be or may not be.

So I should say original spare parts, shouldn't I?

Hi,

'Original' often adds the meaning 'made by the same manufacturer'.



eg You buy a car made by Ford.

Later, if you need some spare parts, they might made by Ford, or they might be made by another company.

The Ford ones are often said to be 'original spare parts'.
