is there much point in flushing the boot because i went round to a couple of body shops and they told me there is no point because if you close your boot hard you could crack the fillers and even if it gets a tiny knock the fillers could crack?

Not if it's done properly.

LOL what a load of crap. It'll only crack if they ain't done it right. I've had mine smoothed for nearly 2 years and never had a problem.

Would only crack if you use filler, don't most bodyshops weld a plate over it?

yeah but they then use a layer of filler to give it a smooth surface.

a boot skin is likely to wobble and crack.

a bodyshop with any savvy at all would know to weld a sheet of metal over and smooth it, and have no problems what so ever

Silvatec have nothing to do with them, according to Rob_Quads they're Severnside Motorsport Prototype Chrome Rear Lights although they use the same technology I'm sure.

If you use the search - you'll find all you need to know about them as they've been covered a lot of times.

Rob_Quads's were the ones stolen I think

They were made by Ultra. It wasn't Rob's that were stolen though, it was the other set I'm sure.
