View Full Version : Customised Gaitors

I can professionally make to order customised gear and handbrake gaitors in quality leatherette fabric.
Made to order in any colour and design, choose leatherette colour, stitching colour and any vinyl graphic to be added.
Choose between single stitch, double stitch, stitching patern and joining layout, fully customise your gaitors.
Depending on the amount of orders received, I estimate about £5.00 per gaitor or less.
With elasticated tie tops and loose or elasticated bottoms these will fit perfectly onto any corsa, and are also universal with their elasticated tops.
I will post a link here soon to view the types of design possible.
So if you have a black corsa, you could have a black gaitor with white strips on either side and white double stitching, or for a red corsa a full bright red gaitor with black double stitching and a black "corsa" logo with matching handbrake gaitor for only £10.00!
If you send me an e-mail for an order simply send cash or a cheque and you will receive your gaitor/s in the post within 48 hours.
Fit with a richbrook chrome gear surround for that added touch of style, as the corsa B surround fits perfectly in the corsa c and looks gooooooooood! If you would like me to fit your gaitor to one of these simply pay the price of a surround (as I won't charge for this) and I will order the part and fit your gaitor to it for you.
Forget those plain boring black gaitors and add a touch of design to your interior.
Post replies here if you would be interested in ordering or sending a design.
Thanks for looking! :thumbs: :wave:
ill have a set!!!! sent you a private message or post back to me here asap if possible

As I will make them to order I don't have any pics. But Dave is after some doing so when I've done his I'm sure he will post up some pics for you all to see! :D
hgow do they fix at the top?
ie, are they ****ey tie things or wat?

well how do you want them to fix at the top?
I can do whatever you want matey! :wink:
Usually fit elastic tie top so when tied can tuck thread under top part, you can't tell. Or could do a smooth fit rather than gathered elastic top, like the special rickbrook fit ones where its just a tight fit over the lift up section.
Thats why I posted it as "customised" gaitors, I will do whatever you want... you can choose, as they will be your gaitors afterall! :)

well they start from £5 each, as this would be for the standard black with no custom stitching involved. Let me know your e-mail and I shall send you the layout designs and colours available with a price after you choose.

I understand totally matey! I'm here when your ready... no rush.
This may sound stupid but how do you fit it, is it easy? An wat do people think of a red gaitor in a red car tacky or cool? I personally think cool
Personally tacky, but each to their own eh!
im gettin some so you can see what there like when i post pics of my car soon

Cheers Dave, you will all see what I can do when Dave gets his.
Yes matey, simply take off your old one and slide these over the gearknob or handbrake handle and attach the bottom of the gaitor to your plastic surround with a bit of glue or ask for the elastic bottom if you prefer and tie the top part up, thats it!
As for a red gaitor in a red corsa, depends on what colour interior you have, go for what you want, could have red with white stitching, or red with black stitching if your interior is black, whatever you want!

This may seem somewhat pedantic but if you're going to advertise yourself as "professional" then you might as well spell it correctly. That also goes for "gaiter". Makes businesses seem as if they know what they're doing.

Good point matey! :lol: Like I've said can't spell to save my life! Didn't have a spell checker on the set up for it! :roll: I'll go and change it now... god damn it!!! :(

OK I'll give you the "profesionally" spelling mistake, but you got the "gaiter" wrong, it is "gaitor"!!!
Remember no one likes a smart arse! And as for "pedantic" stop trying to show off with all those big words that you don't even know the meaning for matey! :lol:
Trying to be clever and proove me wrong just made yourself look a tw*t! And as for you who laughed with him... I laugh at you :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Get your facts right before you start being clever next time! :wink: :P

:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm gonna wet my pants in a minute!
No trust me on this one, it is spelt with an "o" look in any magazine or any site that sells them, richbrook site of all spells it "gaitor"!
A "gaiter" is something different!
As for the "proove" my fingers are very tired and slip or stutter sometimes... :roll:
Look we both look "clever" and also look a pair of "tw*ts" going on about this like women, now stop it before we have to bring Mr. Collins and his big book of words into this! :P
Yer dont start a big arguement or I'll lock this thread ;)

All English dictionaries spell it as I have previously mentioned. However, Richbrook spell it your way so it must be right! Those well known bastions of the English language from which others can only hope to emulate!
As to my use of what you term " big words", well, that is how I was taught. Seeing your efforts and your further more personal comments about me advertises more about you and to the detriment of your 'business'.

Soon Diddon matey... plenty of orders, just waiting for people to get back to me with pics of them on there cars. Dave on here will post some pics with the rest of his interior when he gets his... his are being made as we speak.
I'll get some batteries put in my digi cam if I can root it out, and show you them before I send them out if you want, had orders from various people not just on here so should be getting a lot of feedback soon!
Just keep an eye on this thread. Or I can send you some pics direct if you want Diddon.
Appreciate your interest guys, I will get your pics up soon!
Just takes time to chase buyers for the pics... work, doesn't it get in the way?!
