NOT showing shinny polished rivets. 
But if you have gone to the trouble of the clutch being exposed /out, to check it, then is it not REALLY worth not putting a New cover and plate in
for the cost involved. I think the last one I bought was only about £40 for an LUK unit from a motor factors. I only changed it then because I was
getting clutch slip and I had the engine out to check what the problem was. Turned out it was not the clutch but, I found I had too many spacers
behind the hydraulic slave, and , the pedal was not returning fully either. Fixed both of these and put a new clutch in, its been as right as rain
since. The plate I took out/replaced was probable not even 50% worn, but while it was out, in went new anyway just to save trouble further down the
road.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
