The originals are made from ABS plastic, many aftermarket ones are fibreglass...

Fibreglass touches the ground a bit hard it will break.

ABS tends to bend then spring back into shape... MUCH more tolerant to a bit of abuse. Also with a plastic primer and good paint the paint will do the same!

Speaking from experience here, have had a fibreglass one, a genuine ABS plastic one and now a carbon fibre one...
