ferrari style gear gaiter, Metal Plate
Well ive been wanting to do this for a while but not sure how exactly to go about it. I started on it with my astra but then some cunt bag drove over my bonnet so fobbed that off.....
I want to make an oval metal plate that will fit where the gear gaiter fixes. (thats the easy bit)
How the fluck do i fix it in place without it being two pieces, to get it around the shifter as it will be going on with a B&M shifter.

for a stripped out look might look ok actually, you could try doing a template but its gonna be hard to get it right

good luck mate, sounds easy to do but when you think about it and the amount of work to do it.....
imo, if your going for the stripped look id leave it out
