td_w 2 Posted July 27, 2014 Sadly my 205 1.9 GTI gear knob broke into ten pieces at Brands Hatch couple of weeks ago. I am not able to afford the silly money ones on eBay so just wondered what aftermarket ones anyone could recommend? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,647 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) id reccomend just getting a non ridiculous priced o.e knob, typically found in breakers yards if they havent been stolen and placed on ebay already. though I just bunged a spare zx knob on my 205, looks a bit different but works fine.

hoodygoodwood 70 3 Cars Posted July 27, 2014 Have a look on E-bay , there are some dodgy looking Sparco or OMP ones on there but this one does not look too naff and its only £12.99 brand new . See item number 230864827204 .No idea if it will fit or will need an adaptor though . There are hardly any breakers yards round my way but if you have some locally its got to be worth a look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TaffyTim 6 Posted July 29, 2014 I got mine by sending messages to guys breaking 205 gtis on ebay and just asked soley about the knob. I ended up paying 25 quid they even sent the stick for free, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars Posted July 29, 2014 I've got one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290980186274?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 And after a few years of being in the sunlight, it has got a pretty cool bronze-ish tint to it. I think it suits the car pretty nicely. One of my 205s has something that looks like it came off a battle cruiser of some description. That'll get changed for one of those^^ when I get round to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted July 29, 2014 I've seen those ones on ebay and I thought they'd suit a 205 so that's good to hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmer 328 1 Cars Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Got this to keep mine in the shade a bit as the heat go's for them I think. Just buy a base mode one, I saw one on eBay for about £35 Edited July 29, 2014 by farmer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
td_w 2 Posted August 2, 2014 @farmer - haha love it, good thinking @johnnyboy - My reverse is up on the left so this isn't great but I agree it looks nice - I will keep looking and order one of these as a last resort, certainly cheaper than other options Thanks for the help all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
