First job after picking it up Friday was to get the dog guard, load liner and boot liner/cover fitted; rear seat covers arrived this morning so will get them done later if ever stops raining :evil:

First was the dog guard and load liner that are the genuine oem ones that dealer threw in :mrgreen: ...£250 approx for the guard :shock:

Next up was boot liner / cover from eabay; I had used the 'Hatchbag' liners before but they seem a lot more expensive now that remember paying for last one, so thought would give this a go and if no good would return it and order the hatchbag one. As it turns out, this one was not bad for the money, less than half the hatchbag cost.

Seems well made and robust

nice lip protection flap for the dog paws (liner not fully fitted yet in this pic)

I had one of my German Shepherds in boot of the car with only 150 miles on the clock - was painful as didn't have the load liner!

Is that this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311221026714? ... EBIDX%3AIT

I've had it on my watch list for a month and um and ah about pulling the trigger.

Yep, thats the one. Its a good fit, and covers well, but it sags a little on some bits as unlike the Hatchbag one is not fully velcro'd (weel what do you expect for less than half the price); so I plan to get some more self adhesive velcro for some of the top bits. You can always return it if need be, but does the job good enough for me.
