Wanted: Genuine Grey Gear Gaiter

thanatu55 · Post by **thanatu55** » Sun Mar 11, 2018 2:15 am

Does anyone have one of these going spare? There's a hand brake gaiter I want on ebay but I ain't getting it without the matching grey gear lever gaiter, hence has to be a genuine one not aftermarket. The only genuine ones I can find are black.

Cheers.

I’ve never seen an e85 with grey leather gaitors? I think you may be looking for rocking horse poo

I've never seen them in grey either, but I found this on eBay which claims to be OEM/Genuine

Found it. I looked through their other items but they are selling it with the whole gear surround.

Don't do it. Grey leather is proper old man style.

Early Z4's came with grey interior's if they specified red leather for the build. Awful. BMW soon changed it to black with red.

My TVR was all grey leather and it looked nothing short of shite

Hmmm... Ok looking at my interior again it probably wouldn't suit it. I just wanted to tie in the door panels and the new mats I have on order but they're technically not grey. The guy just lost a sale anyway as he's not prepared to sell the gaiters separate. He'll struggle to find someone needing a surround that wants the grey gaiter attached or is prepared to have to replace their handbrake to match. I did try.

When I say "all grey leather" I mean ALL grey leather. It was truly hideous

Yeah I see what you mean about the colour, as for design though I love that interior! TVR do make an effort when it comes to design and breaking the mould.

I have one actually, didn't realise they were so rare! Not for sale though as not sure I like the gaitor I swapped in instead due to the colour - think it was yours actually haha!

Haha I'm on my fourth set of gaiters as it is, I'm so indecisive! It's one of those things that are tough to get right once you've made the decision to change.
