    Need New Nova gaiter

    Wanna get a new gaiter for my Nova. The current one is split and the split is getting bigger. Plus for some reason its kinda greasy on the outside

    Can anybody recomend a nice looking gaiter preferably a leather one. Nothing tacky tho

    Any pics of gaiters you have fitted will be handy

    I just bought a gaiter off ebay for 9.99 looks like a really good one proper leather by the looks of it.

    Sorry, I wasn't being very clear, the user selling them is called vxl.

    I got mine in the post today and they are great!

    And yes, 20 quid posted.

    I have these in my Astra GSi & can thoroughly recommend them. They are quality genuine leather & custom made for the specific model of car so they fit just like the original items. Don't look like baggy socks the way universal fit items do. A little care & heavy duty stapler is required to fit them to the plastic frames the way the original items are but well worth the effort to do it right.

    Dont think they do the handbrake gaiters for a Nova. Unless other vaux ones fit.

    Shame tho really would make the handbrake look a bit better.

    I'll tell my bro to get a set of gaiters for his Cav seeing as you recomend them

    Thanx again
