Decided to tackle this as the plastic surround I have has faded badly.

 

Before/After.

 

Dishwasher to clean/remove grease.

 

Half a coat of Plasticare trim dye.

 

2 coats of plasticare trim dye.

 

1 coat of Autofinesse Revive.

 

New Leather gaitor.

 

Job Done. (Just got to sort the gear knob out next)

Good job that man.

 

Plasticare and Revive ah!

 

Done mine on Sunday.

 

 

It wasn't till I finished that I noticed it was grey!

 

Where did you get yours from George?

Looking at this picture mate you've stapled the gaiter in the wrong order. the plastic trim is meant to go on the inside of the gaiter. The idea is to sandwich the gaiter between the inner trim (which you cant see once done) and the actual gear surround trim.

 

Look at the final picture of goliaths, you'll see what i mean

It will be sorted in the morning.

That's where I got mine.

 

Stated black on the ad and they have sent me a grey one.

 

Staple holes now!

 

Anyone want a grey one?

I bought a red stitched one for my green interiored car, oh well didn't know they did green stitched ones. Doesn't look too bad.

I bought a green stitched one for the Goodwood. Some light rubbing with black shoe polish turned the bright green to dark green - result!

 

Both my CTI and GTI have these as well in grey and black - good value and quality too.

[iPlod999 143 1 Cars]

Better.

I just bought the one listed with dark green stitching! They have one with bright green and one with dark green

I would change it but I had the top tightened up by a trimmer to match the original as it is too sloppy around the gear stick for my liking and as the great knob inlay and steering wheel centre is red it just looks like its part of the theme.......that's what I say anyway :-p

They only did the bright green one when I bought mine a few months ago.

Same here, bright green for me looks good though
