Default New Lancer Broken Knuckle

I just bought a Lancer EVO off ebay and the front knuckle is broken. I am planning to buy a new alloy one off EBAY but they come in either red or blue. Is there any actual difference or is it just the look?
Thanks

Doesnt it suck how in all the recent Xmod starter kits at least one of the standard knuckles was broken but at the same time wasnt it nice how they gave you a little note saying due to production problems all of the knuckles suffered from problems so here was a free bag of replacement knuckles - unfortunately I found that the replacements where just as damaged as the original so it would have been even nicer if RS had just included a set of GPM alloy knuckles to completely solve the problem!

You put nail polish on the knuckle ? and it made it stronger ?
Just get some alloy ( GPM ) knuckles. They help A LOT. I got front and back on my mustang.
The wheel is freer , and its WAY stronger then nail polish.lol

Default Alloy Knuckles installation

Yay my knuckles finally arrived and in the packaging there are screws, the knuckles, 4 white replacement bearings and also 4 white plastic really thin circles. Exactly what are those thin plastic circles for?
Thanks

spacers for bearings i think, you put them between the bearings or the bushings one
