I have a 1991 S3, that according to the original paperwork, as a 1/2 hide flint interior. It is a dark grey colour.

My PVC/Leatherette gaiter is shot to bits, and has already been repaired a few times. I am trying to get a new gearstick gaiter for it, either ready made, or just a supply of material so Mrs Smokey Boyer can be given a job of making a new one for Trev.

My problem is trying to get a colour match. I have already sent my existing gaiter to Dave the Trimmer, but he does not have anything in stock to match it and will need to go through his suppliers colour charts to see if he can get a match which may well end up being expensive if the only match is in leather.

Does anyone know of a supplier of material or gaiters that is likely to have this in stock.

Other options are to try and match the deep cheery red piping on the seats, or just go for a black one. Any suggestions or photos very welcome....

Although not listed on their website, TVRPower say they have them available in the right colour for £27. I have one on order to arrive next week.

The gaiter arrived yesterday and is a perfect match.
