My thoughts also so I've given up on the idea. The new OEM items have arrived from France so I'll see if I can secure the bottom of the gaiterto the shock. One thing I hadn't realised was how tight the bump stops are in these from new, my old ones have always slipped in very easily so I had no...

Have I definitely got the right thing? How on earth does this get over the shock?? I just played about with the gaiter and it has some stretch but not much. Look at the difference in diameters.

Cheers, my original gaiters have definitely seen better days and it'll be good to have 2 sets of stops. Have you tried securing the bottom of the gaiter to the shock at all?

And looking at this...is this link for the gaiter only or the complete thing pictured including the bump stop? Assuming they don't come in pairs? Might be easier to just use all original parts and use a jubilee clip to secure the bottom of the rubber.

Can anyone explain if I'm being a twat here...at a glance these will neither fit the original bump stop or even fit over the dampers. Don't even look like they'd stretch.

Cheers, something a bodyshop should be able to do whilst getting the front bumper painted do you think?

I'll be buying two new headlights and I've noticed the Hella ones (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163585924099?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gt2bXHAaQNG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=cyMunfjgTbG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) are described as 'without motor for headlamp levelling'. Is...

10 grand for a project car?! What kind of 'project' are they thinking?!

Cheers all. This is what I'm going to do. Not sure of a better alternative, short of getting a scraper/wiper seal modification.

That’s the exact kit I was meaning. Anyone have decent feedback on it?

Yeah they're the originals which don't do a huge amount to stop the ingress of dirt but there's an aftermarket kit available that's been mentioned in the past. Will need to have a dig and see what it was.

What are people currently doing with theirs over and above the crap rubber boots that came as standard? As I've mentioned in the main Sachs rebuild thread, a scraper/wiper seal mod is what I was wanting but Cornering Force are currently unable to offer this so my freshly refurbed dampers are...

It appears the penny has started to drop. After many relists it's bidding starting at £1250 and a buy it now of £1850.

If I was after a set I'd be wanting to get them refurbed and factor that in to the price, assuming it's been a few years. Suspect they'd get snapped up at mid-high hundreds but that's just my take.

I was just meaning generally so I can give me 2 pence, I'm not after a set. i.e. freshly refurbed/used and not refurbed for a few years/refurbed but sat around for 5 years etc.
