Gaiters.

Having changed my seats and door cards to red, should I also change my handbreak and gear gaiters, or would that be too much?

I like the contrast of black and red think more red maybe overkill maybe black with red stitch but at end of the day only your taste matters.looking good pal

I agree with bz4kev.

I also changed my gear and handbrake gaiters to a dark navy (the handbrake is a nightmare to do!) but with a colour like red I think any more would be overkill.

I like how you have it right now and glad to see you braved the door retrim - it's really payed off!

I'd maybe think about a nice gearknob and handbrake handle combo, unfortunately I've just sold a set that would have fitted in perfect with your interior

It hasn't paid off. The stiching down the middle is a weak point for the airbag. So may have to change back again.

I agree, keep it is as! Looks very clean and the ones I've seen done in red for e.g. look a bit out of place. This blends in perfectly.

Yeah, stay as is - nicely balanced red/black

I have to agree with what has been said by others.

It looks way better with the doors done, but I think red gaiters would be overkill.

Then again it's your car so if you want them red just do it.

Isn't keep it as it is. Looks really nice, any more red might be OTT

I Like the contrast at the mo

I fitted red gaiters on my old zed which I thought was just right and not OTT

I like the full red or keep th black gaiter and add red stitching to them.

I do like those seats though.

If you contact Cheshire Autotrim they can get the door panels with the correct stitching.
