Default Bootlid please

Hi

I'm after a good boot-lid please - any colour

Of course, the crucial criteria is no serious (bubbles) along the trailing edge, thanks.

Cheers

Hi Billy,

I have a good bootlid. It's in West Yorkshire, but I travel around quite a bit, so we could probably meet somewhere if you're not in a rush.

John, that is fantastic, thank you. No rush at all - I'm near Bristol but can travel.

Cheers mate

I've had a few bootlids rot on 140/160s that have been parked outside for a while due to water etc sitting between the rubber seal and the lid itself. If you can't cover the car a way to prevent this is to wedge the boot open slightly. Water and rubbish don't collect and there's less condensation inside too.

Thanks Mark. Yeah that's exactly it...a couple of subtle vents would be good. Condensation can be terrible in winter
