thumb grips ripped... replace?

[allyrs]

hey guys.

just got a clio 172. its very well looked after and is in very good shape. the only problem with it was the right had side thumb grip has been ripped out. i imagine it became worn and annoying for the last owner so got ripped out.
it doesnt actually annoy me but i was just wonndering if you can buy new rubber inserts for them to glue in or if its a new wheel job?
i see its a common fault for them to wear.

cheers guys

here is the link, yeah they will be replacable I guess, but i'd go for carbon fibre if I had to replace mine

nice! i would like to sort mine out soon. it looks terrible. the drivers side one is totally off!:dead:

My RH one is literally coming peeled away a little bit but is otherwise fine... What sort of glue would people recommend to re-fix it with? Just plain old Superglue as it's rubber fixing to plastic, or something else?

Cheers

id use either a two pack glue or a bond like sikaflex or tiger seal. or you could use windscreen bond. wont come away then.
