Gear lever / Hand brake surrounds carbon effect

Does anyone have any ideas where i can purchase gear lever and hand brake gaiter surrounds, in a carbon fibre effect.

I have looked all over. It would appear very easy to buy chrome or stainless finish.....but have had no luck with real or fake carbon fibre.

I did see a guy selling them at Newark this year, but stooooopidly didn't buy them there.

Cheers

Gary

Make your own, it's easy. If you pop over you can see mine. I'll even make them for you if you can get the material. I made the gear one from the piece I cut out of the dash where the steering column goes (very locost eh).

Thanks Rich! I reckon i will be after bigger favours than that over the next few months!

I will talk to tifosi tomorrow to check the dimensions of the ones they supply and take it from there.
