So what is a SE boot cover worth? Do you reckon?

Are they really that desirable? Don't get me wrong I had to have one to finish of my sport, to me the boot looked wrong with a bare inside boot. I ant to know what you orrible lot reckon.

I'm not selling, but havint cleaned mine up today the leather was coming off, after a quick trip to the local hardware store for some soft clamps, thin ply and various other bits I virtually rebuilt mine!

I recon I could make them and make them pretty much the same as stock, alternativly I could just cast the shape out of couloured resin so people could choose the colour and customise it.

But theres no point if no one wants them or I can't recover costs. I'm not adverse to doing stuff for free, but I need to cover the costs of the materials or thats just dumb!

No worries dude, I have 2 now since I rebuilt it! Can't fix an engine to save my life but remanufacturing obscure parts seems to be my calling.
