maturin23 10 Posted September 28, 2010 Hi all, Just wondered if there were any alternatives to the standard Pug gear knob - they seem to be thin on the ground now, and I've just split my second one. Any ideas? cheers Ian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happygoron 2 Posted September 28, 2010 Though if you wanted something a bit classier (can't imagine why?) then there's a reasonable selection here: http://www.body-kit.co.uk/section.php/1594/1/gear-knobs Though I'm not a fan of aftermarket gear knobs.

Baz 421 Posted September 28, 2010 Depends what you're after, i've run 309/306 style ones for years in road cars as they match well, leather clad with a better style insert in the top. But for competition oriented cars, Quaife nylon jobbies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted September 28, 2010 so you need a knob for the mot?[let the comments begin] i didnt know that. It isn't part of the test but a well presented car is more likely to pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted September 28, 2010 I have a nice Euro Gentry leather one. It feels nicer to me than the standard plastic one and is a quirky 205 bit! They sometimes appear in 309 Goodwoods without the wooden wheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,647 Posted September 28, 2010 which did you order? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted September 28, 2010 Just buy a bag of apples every few days. When you get in the car, pick up an apple and stab it on to the gear lever. Complete journey, grab apple, lock car and walk enjoying your juicy apple (with slight hint of old french car ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SurGie 54 Posted September 28, 2010 I have a small keyring version of the 8 ball on my black gti6 keys, i like the idea. Where did you get it from some random pub ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted September 28, 2010 I have a nice Euro Gentry leather one. It feels nicer to me than the standard plastic one and is a quirky 205 bit! They sometimes appear in 309 Goodwoods without the wooden wheel These are the ones i meant, they come in some 309 GTi, 405's and some early 306's seemingly. They're comfy and a bit chunkier so feel a bit better to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baz 421 Posted September 28, 2010 No, and i don't usually as it annoys me also, but depending on how you're replying it's sometimes difficult to edit the quoted post. Was there really a need to post that though?? In theory it's just as bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
