    Mine looked like someone's dog had eaten it & my original gaitor was more holy than the naked vicar who lives behind me.
    I sorted my problem with a lovely momo universal gear gaitor (with momo embossed logo) & a modified mgtf gear knob which is made by momo but has the same gear diagram on it. Both cost me £40 & I've been asked by many a head if it's oe.
    If I think on I'll post a pic.

    Am doing the calipers when weather better, got some nice leather gaitors, new knob and h/brake leather handle, 2006 S80 leather wheel which nice chunky, cleaned mats in washing machine and vacced inside.

    That's it for dressing. Not concerned with engine bling, only power, so rest will be practical mechanical mate.

    It's in good hands. The FTO was a deliberate folly designed for a Marmite reaction lol. The Volvo is safe mate. lol
