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.....

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?

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.
Cheers, Pewe
