Has anyone got any interesting alternatives to leather/vinyl/rubber. I'm looking for ideas for my Audi as both the handbrake and gear levers are as tatty as hell.
I saw a pic of one on here using old coach seats which was interesting. Anything else?

Got an old favourite t-shirt but your belly grew too much to wear it now?
Perfect reason to use it this way.
Did you ever try one of Aldi's plastic shopping bags for this? Why not?
Go to the flea market and buy a horrible or beautiful pillow.
Depends on the style you're looking for. Use it in a new way.
Buy some sheep fur and make it look fluffy.
Ask your grandmother to knit you a very special custom version.
She knows the style, that's for sure.
Enough ideas? Go for it!

Bit of a deficit in the grandparent stakes these days so knitting is out. I've just been googling sources of Porsche Pascha check but it would cost more than the car. I might have a root in my wardrobe for old shirts tonight. |

I'm sure there's a kind old lady in your neighbourhood who's willing to knit for you, if you just visit here for a cup of tea and a nice talk.

Get some material that looks like bricks, make it look like a pyramid, add an all seeing eye as a gear knob, and maybe make an arrabian scene around the base using plastic camels, and glue some sand down.

Have you got an overall theme in mind for your car that could be reflected in the gearlever - camo patterns, matt black, Austin Powers '60s look etc?

Have you got an overall theme in mind for your car that could be reflected in the gearlever - camo patterns, matt black, Austin Powers '60s look etc? I'm sort of going for stock with a few tweaks. So far we've got black steel wheels, no badges other than the 4 circles, and a blacked out grille. In due course it will be hit with the stick. Inside is a teutonic sea of black and grey. Poolball gearknob is a no-brainer but something a bit different for the gaiters would lift it. Pasha was my first thought but I quite like the idea of black and grey camo. |
