I got the gaiters from a place in Germany that does leather re trims etc. I'm well pleased with them and they cost a fraction of a set over here.
I don't know if I like the handle either but its gotta stay now I've took the original one off. Might invest in a Steinmetz one later, they look good.

... Or an Irmscher one
Yeah the gaiters look good. Suppose you've gotta take your standard gear knob off to change them over though havent you?

Pics work now - couldn't remember how to spell my own website!
Thats a Steinmetz hand brake (£65) and an Irmscher gear knob. Gear knob is mainly plastic, with an alu rim around it. £54 from Vaux

That is exactly what i was going to suggest to you and also Damn you I wanted to do that but need to launch a blue peter appeal first to raise the funds! I was going to paint the direction switch and the 3 knobs above but it looks sweet doing the whole direction panel/the door handle and the glove box handle! what have you done silver just below the glove box handle? and are you going to do the door pins and finally what rear clusters have you gone for?

Below the glove box is the small tray thing - ive sprayed the edge, masked the tray part and just given it a silver trim. looks neat.
Was thinking about doing the MFD lid silver, with blue LED's in this summer, and maybe the heater knobs but not sure. It's all in Star Silver metallic paint, so it all glistens lovely in the summer!
Standard rear clusers, not sure if clear would suit my car (Polar Sea Blue)
Wouldn't mind Irmscher Alu pedals and blue gear gaiter trim either!

I could probably do you a good deal on Irmscher pedals and either Irmscher gaiters or ones like mine above

Oh from the pic i thought yours was silver outside as well! the tray thing you've done looks good from the pic. HAHAHA I beat you too the blue led thing with the help of cobra! It looks sweet get it done! Piece of piss too! Im def gonna do the heater knobs! and though about the pedals but at £60 gonna be a while yet! I've gone with star silver 2.
In all fairness any colour rear clusters suits a blue car. I on the other hand have a silver car so my go with smoked!

Thansk Cobra - thought I'd try a subtle link too to get this thread back on topic for ya!
I'm interested in the pedals, and the leather gear trim, but it'd havve to be a VERY good deal - I know how much they cost!

I got my gaiters above from Germany, they are a tailored fit, genuine leather and cost me about £22 with postage.
Irmscher gaiters come in red, blue and grey, they will cost you £80 plus from a dealer, I can get them for about £55ish.
I would need to look into pedals but I know they are not cheap.

I can get pedals for an Astra, dunno if they are the same as the corsa though. Trev, u2u and remind me what the other thing was again. I'm dosed up on painkillers and not thinking straight at the mo.
