Crappy Gear Shift Surround

[stublee]

' Posted earlier on this topic .... No one else had this problem ?

Gear stick gaiter kept dropping down from ******* fixing on console & after re sticking it several times I decided to do a proper job ...

Just fixed * Richbrook* chrome gaiter frame + leather gaiter ( already had chrome shift knob ) What a difference ! Handsome. + blends in nicely with rest of black/ metallic effect trim - tho it came to 50 quid.

You'd think Toyota would provide this standard of kit on new cars - the old saying

* spoiling a ship etc. * springs to mind ! Or at least provide an after sales kit ( tho no doubt it would cost a lot more )

A few years back I iid it on a Carina E with a full set up from a scrapyard. Cost about £30 I think from memory. It was a CDX too, better than mine!

I have a 2003/52 1.8VVti 5 Dr last of old shape, and my gear surround and gearknob is starting to wear (at 41,000 miles!!!). The gaiter is plastic (I thought it would be leather) and so it is shredding a bit due to wear and tear, and the knob is looking very polished.

Can anyone suggest a link on the web to where a replacement gaiter and knob can be sourced (preferably leather).

Thanks.
