post pic's of your gaiter!

I currently need to source a gaiter for the mk but i really cant decide what i want.

part of me thinks something subtle (ie black) but then that might look out of place in a seven - but at the same time i cant bring myself to buy one of these tacky coloured things from the likes of halfords......but maybe they'd look ok in place?

just looking for some inspiration really.....

haha yeah sorry, gearlever!

oh like these?

I reused the Sierra rubber one. Free, black, weather proof, doesn't look too offensive and fits very easily.

Alternatively I got a leather look hand brake gaitor of eBay for less than a £10er.

How about a steering rack boot as a gaiter?




Picture shamelessly stolen from RichardK

For a really locost solution I used a black sink plunger with the centre cut out and then a Renault 5 (or was it Pug 205?) steering rack gaiter inserted into it.
Looks just like OE.
