Replacement Manual Gear Knob

[Richcurtis1981]

Hi Guys - I'm toying with the idea of changing my manual leather gear knob as its looking a bit worn.

I cannot see a replacement oem part advertised anywhere but like the look of the F-Sport leather and carbon fiber gear knob. These look good but seem expensive £85 on eBay.

Has anyone purchased one of these or something similar?

Any thoughts / recommendations would be appreciated

You might of seen this but I have had my eye on this gear knob for a while. I think it's an oem knob not after market. It's the f-sport one and would look very nice on the 220.

Lexus charge over hundred pounds for the same gear knob so £85 is a good price. Like yours, mine has some sign of wear so I will eventually replace it with this one.

Thanks Carl - will keep an eye out as there doesn't seem too much choice out there.

My only reservation is the blue stitching against my grey leather interior.

Yeh, I thought the same but its only a small amount so I don't think it will stand out that much. Could always put a bit of back dye on the stitch if your careful.

A small dab of black shoe scuff from an applicator should fix the blue stitching problem.

The f sport gear knob has just arrived from the US. it worked out to be $72 or £48ish (because paypal give a rubbish exchange rate)

Put the black liquid shoe polish on and looks great. result
