Fiat did a gaitor surround, handbrake handle and gearknob. They sold out years ago and are a rare find on ebay.

There were a few after-market alternatives but they have dried up too. frown

I think they are quite rare, well the ones specifically for the Coop from Fiat. I purchased one on here second hand, along with a chrome gear knob.
It's a case of keeping an eye open & playing the waiting game I'm afraid. Of course there's always a chance some one on here may be able to help.... smile

There was a group buy about 5yrs ago of a cheaper chrome surround. It was more curved and required you to run over it before it would fit (I kid you not). I think it was intended for a Vauxhall Astra. Sadly details lost in the great Forum Crash of 2005 frown

That's exactly what I've got. Come to think of it, if I remember correctly Joe Countrycruising had an auction of some parts, some while back. I was the highest bidder for the surround & gear knob & h/brake cover smile
