Nice and easy - Got an Audi TT Gaiter off eBay for about 14 quid. The actual lower gear stick surround is a doddle to take off and comes off just using fingernails! Basically tuck in the gaiter underneath and reattach. Voila!

And the surround stays in place after?

Yep, doesn't budge at all.

Bob H · 23rd February 2008, 15:52

Looks like a visit to ebay then

Thanks for that eighteentee...

I'd add my name to that list,in fact I think I'll go on ebay now to beat the rush

(just looked-GaitersBoots.com Also it says they will manufacture for any make of car)

FWH · 23rd February 2008, 16:57

Looks good.

Good alternative to the Volvo SpaceBall copy.

eighteentee · 23rd February 2008, 17:03

I was going to do the whole TypeR conversion until I saw the price so thought 'sod it!'. I'm glad I got the TT one now cos it finishes the car off nicely

Bob H · 23rd February 2008, 17:12

Mine is on order...

warriorpete · 27th February 2008, 19:50

How's the top held in place???

robbo51 · 27th February 2008, 21:22

It just stays there on its own Pete

Dimplyred · 27th February 2008, 21:50

It looks so much better with a gaiter fitted.
