Gear Knob Disintegrated

Recommended Posts

td_w

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

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.

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

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

I've got one of these:

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

I've seen those ones on ebay and I thought they'd suit a 205 so that's good to hear.

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

@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
