  1. Definitely went to put the new dampers on but couldn’t
    The metal sleeve in the bottom of them are way to long can’t even get the nut on a thread

  4. Pop the rubber out and zip cut to size. It’s possible that they used an oversized bit..

    Getting those rear quarter panels flat is a horrid job! It took me an absolute age. The bug by comparison only needed a few skims to get right.
