It looks really good!
It would stop the paint getting chipped and rusting too!

i used 4/5mm fibre board as it bends easy with the different contours of the lid the just wrapped it in vinyl with spray adhesive.. fastened it down using ally riv nuts and m4 stainless allen head nuts with spring washers so they dont vibrate loose
hope this helps

nicely done. i got one similar a few years back and theyre great make it look nice and smart and tidy. Pockets on them are good too for a few tools water bottles etc. But theyre really good for hiding any rust on the inner of the boot lid too

A good coat of waxoyl behind the cover would help stop the rust
