I see you have posted the same question every uk based automotive forums, which is a great way to get an answer, though you have failed to tell us for
what car? Unless of cause its market research as suggested elsewhere.

My experience with these kind of coloured boots is they last a year and fall to bits, literally
They also thin as hell and easily torn, just rubbish bling
Longest lasting is manufactures originals as the rubber is of the highest quality
May seem an odd thing to have on a car but on buggies sand rails and baja's the cv boots are very visible. Been available for over 15 years so
nothing new, just not well known outside the classic VW scene

Clearly market research. Seriously, who can't search google or ebay nowadays.....
Just ask on the forums of the market sector for which you want to get into and see what your potential customers say and think.
Unless you actually want coloured cv boots, which I have on mine. Black.

I often scatter questions across multiple forums (forii?) and so far it's turned up all manner of gems that are known only to niche groups and
don't advertise widely. Not everything is easily googleable or on ebay. I love the fact that more than once someone has googled for what
I'd looked for, not found an answer (surprise) and then realised I'd posted on another forum and claimed I'm some form of spammer
because I've posted to another group that's not directly related to the first. Some people can't help but be hard of thinking.

I bought some blue silicone sierra ones of ebay a year or so ago, maybe power/super/polyflex?? think they made lots of Escort polys and maybe funky
coloured engine mounts?
they are thick and beefy, can see them falling apart, but they are as yet unfitted so cant vouch for their longevity.

The beetle ones are about 2mm thick, standard rubber orginals are 5mm!

I personally understand your point, but looking at it, the exact same sentence, on every possible type of automotive forum. Surely post on a forum
that is specific to your make, and maybe a couple of general enthusiast forums, but every single one? Takes some doing.....IMHO.......
Also no further posts from OP? Pointless thread from now on as the question has been answered.

Oh so do I, but google his exact post and see what comes up. That's some effort for something that CAN be found with a quick google or ebay
search.

The low profile silicone race-type ones are very good however, pricy though.

Do you sign up to multiple new forums, all covering widely different marques to ask the exact same question without even specifying the
application?
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, then it's probably a duck. Or spammer in this case.
