“Reçu en 3 jours sur la Belgique. J'ai profité du changement des joints pour remplacer le soufflet. Attention que tous les trous ne correspondent pas aux emplacements d'origine. Mais facile à placer. Belle finition.”

“Easy to fit, better quality than the original and will get better with time as it settles in rather than just tearing and holing like the original.”

“Looks nice once fitted, but the number of holes to fit it on the inside plastic cover is innacurate!!! (mk1)”

“A completely different shape to the orginal one in my MX-5 MK1.To make this fit at all I had to rip some of the stitching and force it into position over the rectangle plastic frame removed from the car. Then I made new holes in the leather at the position of the tabs on the plastic rectangle frame. These were no where near the holes in the leather that were provided by the manufacturer.Also, the circular metal piece folded and glued into the original gaiter was missing on the new one.I removed the metal piece from the old gaiter and with great difficultly and a considerable amount of time positioned it in the new gaiter, folded the leather into the centre of the metal piece and then sewed the leather together to hold the metal piece securely.I was tempted to return the gaiter to MX5 Parts but couldn't find a more suitable alternative.On the plus side, the leather is nice and appears to be good quality.”

“Usual speedy delivery and reasonable quality leather and looks great fitted... but the fitting is not as simple as it could/should be. Other reviews mention the holes not being in the right place - and they're not! I fitted one to my Mk1 Eunos last night, what should be a very quick job took about 30 mins wrestling with small screwdrivers and a knife because most of the holes are in the wring place. Surely the item can be made with then in the correct place?! Please MX5parts.co.uk sort this out!”

“Sorry, I take back my first review comment about the holes not being lined up. I was having a blond moment. (and I'm not even blond!) I went back in the car and had a look at where I was going wrong. Figured it out and had it on in minutes! lol not all the holes line up though. But the finished product is great. Thank you again MX5 parts! you rock! (I don't)”

“:-( sadly I'm having trouble attaching this to where the old gaiter was. The holes are not lined up at all. So much so, I came back on here to make sure I got the gaiter for the Mk1. I think I'm going to need to buy a leather hole punch to line it up. Slightly miffed, as all other parts I have bought from here have been an absolute breeze to fit.”
