No problem at all, they are powder coated & they need to be "hung" from wire when they are being cooked, that is where it was hung from.

Just fit & forget.

If the damage is just to the coating & none to the metal of the spring either take them back & see if the suppliers have got some more or paint the area & fit.

I've just touched the bare area up with some paint
Just a poor quality finish in them especially for OE items to have bare metal showing on a item exposed to the element's

with marks on both sides, looks like someone has grabbed it with something ?

It's a part from a main dealer ?

Not from a main dealer but a supplier but came to them direct from fiats warehouse in Italy
Both are identical so presumably from manufacter
