As above, does anyone know where you can the blue dust covers from? Tried looking online with no luck. Does anyone on here know a supplier, or someone that can order them in?________________________________________ '98 Nile Blue 306 GTi 6 |

no, B8 is an inverted damper, so the boots are a different shape due to there not being a bumpstop for them to cover (internal bumpstop inside the leg)________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

On track there is no problem with that but hit a pothole on our fabulous roads and they will bang like f**k. Apparently it the spring bottoming out. I've been meaning to put some back in but haven't got round to it yet. 206 gti ones are progressive apparently ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

Standard gti6 bumpstops looked very long which made me think that the car would be on them all the time, hence why I didn't put them on________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

Had the following reply from Bilstein today:I have checked the drawing for these, and it doesn’t show any dust cover or bumpstop. You should use O.E gaiters as this is a twin tube unit. Sorry I can’t be any more help. Looks like I'll be going with an OE dust cover. The blue dust cover would have been a nice finishing touch but ah well. ________________________________________ '98 Nile Blue 306 GTi 6 |
