Does anyone know where I can purchase coloured CV Boots?
Same question was asked on a Clio forum with quite amusing results...

Sorry not techy enough to d the links
Just realised it was you that asked the question in the Clio forum too...
LOL
i really want these CV Boots as you can see
What colour do you want??
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.
Some here

And they look well sik blud
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

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!
