Chrome surround for gear gaiter?

mr2stuff · May 27, 2018, 18:27

Hi,

Looking at adding some chrome to the interior of the MR2.
Does anyone know if there is a stick on chrome gear gaiter surround available for our Mk3's? I've seen some but mainly for Mk2's.

Cheers.

Yes, that's the one.

Can you please tell me where you managed to get one?
I've been searching and can't find anything on the usual sites.

I bought mine through a friend of a friend...they're getting harder to find.
A company called chromdesign used to make them...have a search ...there are other chrome bits too.
You could ask someone like Dean Roizer at Rutland MR2 or Dick Sloan to keep their eyes peeled for when the next breaker that has one comes in [emoji846]

Looks great, liking the brushed aluminum look.

There's a couple of places you can get the surround for the gaitor, a guy called Rich, who I believe is selling the hood inserts in the commercial sales section of the forum makes them and there is a company in New York who does the whole kit like mine.

Cheers! I wanted to go with something stylish! And it really lifts the drab black.

I'm annoyed that I haven't discovered this before now...I've gone down the chrome route, but I can't get much more of it easily [emoji53]

I've got brushed stainless trim on my heater vents...

These do some nice bits of stuff, sadly all the gear surrounds are just the wrong size and I'm not confident a trimmed one would look good.

The brushed aluminium is across the entire interior, my photo does really show it all off the best. There are sections around the heater vents, all switches, the dials and the door panels. I think the whole kit was about £200 from a company I found on ebay

I'll see if I can find the company again, all parts fitted perfectly

You could trim the actual vent ribs but it might be a bit too much?

The company was called autodash_trim and they are based in New York but the link on my eBay email says the item is no longer available unfortunately.

You can still get some of the overlays on Amazon if the keywords bring them up.

Only trouble is I put that on a year ago when I first joined, the Christmas present sun strip hides it from the outside now![emoji23]
