Whoever fitted them needs shooting because there doesn't appear to be any dust boots fitted. So I wouldn't go showing Spax these pictures.

Found out what caused it...
The guy who fitted them didnt trim down the bumpstop and as a result the shock got smashed to pieces.

Whereas I had them on my 206 for over 3 years without any issues.
I'd shoot whoever fitted them though Howey.

Its difficult though, he works on a lot of modified cars but this seems like such an elementary mistake to make. However, he has also done a lot of other work for me and Georgie and that has been very good
