Fitted this today: An Hand-Brake Boot Cover made from Genuine Italian Leather.
From:RedLine Accessories/Goods

This is a Genuine Top Notch Product ...

As for the Stapling:
You just need a decent quality Stapler.
I used one similar to this type: Often known as a "Dog Stapler"

However, Troy (aka Aspir3) fitted this Leather Cover a few weeks after me without any Stapling, and has informed me that it worked out just fine.
I tend to agree with Troy, since everything was very snug & neat after having replaced the Brake Handle & Covers etc.

Very Happy:

Sam .. :D

Looks awesome Justin.

I'm thinking of going blue too.. my car kinda has the "blue on blue" look (lets see how it works out).

Did you go for the paintbrush or spray paint option? Looks really neatly done.

Hey Justin .....

You can always tell when people have taken the time & pride to do things thoughtfully & properly .... 8)

The Paint job you've done on your Brake Calipers seems to be exactly that and deserving of praise .... *clap2*

Your obviously a Fussy & Fastidious Person just like me .... :lol:

Hope to meet-up one day and get a better look.

Love the Blue .... I considered it and almost did, but did 2 Tone Red/Silver.

Hey Sam,

Thanks man took me the weekend with the old man that owns and works on his show car... so can imagine the knowledge base i got there... gotta love him some days can be really helpful. him and his shed.... although we had alot of difference considering hes V8 and im turbo...
(but we all know that god invented Turbo lag to give V8's a chance... he just dont believe it yet lol)
yeah pretty much Sam if i dont like it, ill continue to do it over and over again till its right... e.g. my dash interior lights... i like yours but the only problem is that silver... yeah thats going to get pretty dirty mine was heaps bad till i cleaned em up
yeah they look way way better in the day, my mate wants to take some pics of the car with his new camera some expensive sony thing i donno i like cars and computers not cameras lol

love how your coils match your brakes and its not to over the top like people just paint EVERYTHING red... half the reason i took the leap for blue and i gotta say with the blue standard plates on it... looks great (Y) very close in colour

will hopefully see ya in one of the meets or the bathurst run mate

LOL yeah we cleaned the area thoroughly first... figured there was no point in washing the rest of the car until the day before our meet/cruise on Sunday.
