My new knob and gaiters

radi8or · 14th January 2007, 18:00

Hi all,

Finally got my wood gear knob and new gaiters fitted this week end.

Knob was courtesy of a B*W via e-bay and the gaiters also came from e-bay from guy called Mr. Gaiter http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GAITERS-BOOTS-WAREHOUSE
colour of the gaiters is quite a good match considering their new and the cars upholstery is nearly five years old, a couple of piccys

WOW!!!!

The gaiters look fantastic!!!

Very smart looking.

I've never been to fond of the dimpled leather fitted to my Zed, so this eBay store may prove usefull... I'll gave a ganders after me tea...

Thanks Rich, i'm pretty pleased with them too. :lol:

Got a bit of a shock when I first opened the packet, inside they looked almost grey, but when I took them out to the car very nearly a perfect match.
The guy also does other colours and if you can send him a small sample says he can match it.

If you look through all 23 pages, he has different prices for the same thing? £13.99 instead of £14.99 for the gear lever gaiter and £29.99 instead of £25.99 for both gaiters.

Fantastic look!

Any other places to find such good quality gear knobs?

I've been looking myself.

stef_uk,
:SHOCKED: no I am not Mr. Gaiter, I mailed him to ask if he could match the sandstone leather and added a photo of the interior so there was no mistake about the colour, he asked if I would send him some pictures, when fitted, for his web site.

I am mortified that you think I would flagrantly break forum rules by promoting my own business.

Alan, I am sure he would be pleased to sort any queries you have, and to know about the differences in prices, possibly typo's ?
