Pic request-gear knobs & gaitor surrounds

[Quade]

Thinkin of changing my gear knob and adding a aluminium gaitor surround on my 172 cup. Before i jump in was hoping i could see what other people have done. Cheers.

i put on a Momo Race Evo gearknob and am now looking for an aluminium surround. No pics yet tho. Where are you getting your surround from as i can only seem to find chrome ones...

Dont do it,you will ad 0.1 ounces to the car and totally ruin the handling

[StevenMc29]

[StevenMc29]

i have a richbrook slant, love it. Only problem was that you could see the metal gear shaft inbetween the knob and left reverse

however if anyone here has been in a new mini you'll know the bit i mean, the plastic trim around the hazzard button. On some models its chrome but you can get the black one. It slides over the lift reverse and fits snug when lifting


Just a tip

You wanted to see what the gear gaiter looked like.

 

[StevenMc29]

£12.99 ripspeed Leather handbrake gaitor from Halfrauds. Needs cutting down alot but looks good, will get a pick tomorrow!
Spraying my cheapo plastic handbrake gaitor in Renault metallic black too but I like the cheapo halfrauds one so much Im keeping it
There's only one small indentation of RS on it which you cant see so looks fairly OEM

Mmmmn, that b&m is rather tasty, i guess that is part of the whole short shift kit?
