Thanks FP, I just got the 4 set. Expensive but heck they are a nice plus.
Should I get a boot liner mat for 20€? Are they any good or useful?

For me with 2 dogs a boot liner is essential, and so easy to put in and out, also i spilt redex in the boot which i think is the worst smell available, if i had no liner it would mean just having to be sick every time i use the car but it was just washed off the liner and the boot was kept clean :cheesy:

I don't care about that, noone will ever light something inside my car. Never!
Only diesel can burn, and it must remain inside the cylinders.

Thanks for the tips guys, gonna order them and the boot liner soon. Just today I was fined 150£ cuz I was at 40 in a 30mph zone... which was a straight empty road 8 miles long with no houses.
Don't know why it was 30 mph limited! :shock:
So first I have to recover from this, may do some translations (I occasionally collaborate with an internet tech site and they need translations from english to italian) to pay for the stuff.

From what point of view?
Near where I live we have some of the most amazing roads in the world - passo San Pellegrino, passo Giau, passo Rolle, passo dello Stelvio (Top Gear featured best road in the world, before that one in Romania was "discovered"). All of them are mountain roads of course.
The roads are well kept in most of the north, but often you'll find bad spots, holes and such, as everywhere in Europe. Not as good as France and Germany. Maybe at the same level of England from my limited experience in your country.
Legally limits are normal, sometimes you find a place where the limits are too low, but that's just because local cities need money and they gather some via fines.

EDIT: my region is the motorcycles nirvana, that's why tens of them die on our roads every summer. :(
