Hi All

Do you know if these are available to buy through parts for a non-hampton car?

They look great in black leather with red stitching, and would look great in my red/black clubman.

I've had a quick look on realoem but that isn't being helpful!

Will.

I don't know if they can bought as OEM parts, but try going down the aftermarket route.

There is a company called Topgaiters, selling on eBay, which will do almost any combination of leather and stitching colour.

I have had them supply alcantara gaiters for the Mini and black leather with blue stitching for my wife's 123d. Both sets were considerably cheaper than the OEM versions and of very high quality.

However, separating the gearstick base is a pain and you may end up breaking one of the lugs on the outer surround. I bought a number of gearknobs/gaiters on eBay, very cheaply, to practise on.
