So as title Say's, I'm just wondering what's everyone done?

Ive managed to put my momo nob onto it, but I'm struggling with the gaiter side of things? as i have one, but it's too tight and you get it stuck finding reverse.

I know some of you are going to say tell me off and stop being gay etc, but i want it to look a bit more "original" instead of something slapped in from another car! lol

PIC's would be nice, cheers

Use decent grease and it will be fine IMO. You're just being a bufty and wanted alcantara in a car with no carpets lol

lol yeah that would be cool. Better not to have one though IMO, b ut I know what you're saying about the whole rough n ready look. Paint it maybe? The manky plastic lets the internal shifters down IMO.
