I'm working on that JP

Check back later on today and I should have a few pix for you.

OK... here are the pix of my Bilstein PSS10 kit as it is today after 4 years / 15K miles of use. Taken today (20/05/15) after a quick clean.

Starting with the rears. They are virtually "As New" in appearance except for one of the original stickers has a scuff (was like this from new where something rubbed against it in transit) just visible in the first pic (top shock)
In addition my rear dampers come already fitted with "GENUINE" BMW rear top mounts which were purchased New at the same time as the PSS10 kit and were an extra. These are included in the deal for ease of installation

they look in very good nick, and the fronts?

Here are the pix of the front Bilstein PSS10 dampers as they are today after 4 years / 15K miles of use. Pix taken today (20/05/15) after a quick clean.

Just as with the rears they are in excellent condition through out although do show signs of use more than the rears due it their stainless steel construction and greater exposure to the elements. They come complete with "Ground Control" camber adjustable top mounts which were purchased New directly from "Ground Control" in the USA and were an expensive extra. These are also included in the deal for ease of installation.

do you think they could do with a rebuild? or were they ok when you had them on?

Just updated JP and yes they are in good nick (as they haven't been used on Wintery salty roads) and I really do look after my stuff

They are perfectly fine JP without any leaks or damage and were only removed recently as I've decided to reverted my CSL back to OEM for originality. So no, they won't need to be refurbished for a while yet.
