Alcantara Gear Gaiter ?

[Ash J]

Long shot, but can anybody recommend where I can get a gear gaiter done for my 182 in Alcantara?

Already been in touch with @Austin-182 but he no longer does this anymore, as I already asked him seeing as I have a few other Alcantara parts in my car already that were done by him.

Would be happy to send off my handbrake cover (done in alcantara) so that somewhere/someone could try and match the alcantara for a gear gaiter.

Any help much appreciated.

Wouldnt mind getting my gear gaitor, handbrake and seatbelt pretensioner done like this too. If you find somewhere can you let me know.

Royal Steering Wheels did mine when they were doing my steering wheel. Maybe worth a try.

Got a picture at all? I have already been in touch with Jack about having my steering wheel done actually.

Did you have to send your gaiter off to him?

I don't have a pic at the moment but I had to send my gaiter off to him. He kept my old one because it was no use to me, but he may still have it to use as a template. Worth asking him.

Did he not attach the gaitor to the bottom plastic bit or did you have to do it yourself - if so how do you do it ?staples?

Could ask a local seamstress to make it from the old gaitor.

I had a set in my vectra back in the day.

Call the Chinese embassy and ask for the best priced sweatshop.

I didn't send the plastic part to Royal, But I used a hot glue gun to attach the gaiter to the plastic bottom part. I didn't have a stapler. The glue gun worked a treat

This has given me an idea. Bought some faux alcantara off fleebay to do the a pillars and door plastics so might have a crack at a gaitor with the left overs..

Something popped into my head earlier today... I seem to remember that V6 Clio 255s came with alcantara gaiters as standard.

So happens that there is a black V6 255 which is currently being broken on eBay. So I sent the guy a message to see if the gear gaiter is still available and how much if so.

As to whether it would fit or not I am not entirely sure, though I'm sure it could be made to fit.

Anyway, almost fell off my chair when he responded with 'Yes £95' ?!!!!! Is he having a laugh or is it me?! Safe to say I won't be taking this route.

£95, wtf. I made a basic one using about £3 worth of fabric and some loctite all purpose glue. Looks ok imo.
