Ouch. Hope it failed at low speed. Left a nasty mark on your wing though.

Oh dear. I had a cheap set, they lasted 6 months and the joints felt like they were going to fall out.

Buy cheap, pay twice 
There's a picture floating about 306GTi6.com of a cheap wishbone where the mount for the P-bush sheared right off

pay twice probably won't help this time
to be fair i am quite surprise about this.
have seen quite a lot of accident damaged 206 and most of the time the wisbone still in one piece but just bent quite badly....

It's french.....buy expensive, pay 27 times, buy cheap, pay 54 times. Either way everything wears out quickly!

Cheap or expensive; ignore the clunking and squeaking and any ball joint will do this in the end.
I also notice they are relatively new tyres, I bet they were put on because the play in the joint caused the tyres to wear very prematurely. A new wishbone is cheaper than 1 tyre. In fact, if you fit them yourself, a pair of wishbones is cheaper than 1 tyre!
Some won't agree with that but with my discount I can often get QH wishbones (leading and VERY reputable aftermarket manufacturer) for £28 incl. VAT.
If you live near Swindon I might supply and fit for a reasonable fee.

The exact reason that it's lucky I work at a pug dealer, before I went to Plymouth in May, I gave my car a little check on the lunch break and found it needed N/S track rod end, O/S wishbone and two new tyres as front were bald as a result of excessive play in the wishbone and track rod. If I hadn't have driven it into the workshop on my lunch break, I was told if I were to touch 80 on the motorway, this exact thing would have happened.
