Finding one in good nick is a rarity bud, I'd clean up the old one as I had to then just paint it with something protective

Honda still do this part so you can buy a new one which comes with the clips and is a 5 minute job to swap over.
Cost is about £70 for the part

Yeah. It only lasts 2 years before it starts deteriorating into looking crap again though
Strip and paint isnt so hard. You'll need a stanley to slice under and remove the coating thats left (be careful not to damage the rubber edges).

Yes as above just strip and paint it, done my bb2 one over here, the clips holding it down can be a little brittle so take care and maybe have some silicone handy if any completely can't be used again as water will get in the boot..

The clips are a jobby. On 4 ludes I have only ever managed to get one off without breaking the clips. There is a definite knack and luck on their age brittleness... the clips can be bought new, separately though.

I cant see any deterioration in the finish on the one i got new from Honda - its got a thick plastic coating on it - i guess its not gone through a hard winter as yet so may be too early to tell
ive got some spare clips that i took of the old strip if anyone gets stuck- a few of them are undamaged
