Gear knob insert

Postby mmaacc » Wed Mar 27, 2013 3:52 pm

Hi guys,

I am from Romania(DACIA DUSTER country :) ) and I recently bought an Megane 225 and i'm very impressed with this car. I just love it !
As a new owner, I try to fill the visual gaps (repaint the rims, take out the dents...). I noticed that my gear knob insert is a plastic one and the gear indications are bearely visible, so i'm struggling to find a replacement leather + aluminium gear knob but i can't find anywhere one. At Renault they are charging me for 80euros for a brand new one - this just doesn't justifies.

So my question is to all of you, where can i find another gear knob, or just the aluminium insert but at a reasonable price ?
I searched ebay, there was one guy in France, but he wants 25 euros just for the insert and he doesn't delivers outside France.

Any help would be much apreciated.

Thank you!

I think i found the one you told me AlexB. I know that one. Looks ugly as hell unfortunately.
I got a promise from someone that he will craft me one from zero at a programmable robot. Hope he keeps his word.
Until then, i am open to any sugestions.

Thank you

This guy does some good knob inserts:

I have one for my 225, the one in the link is for the standard megane, but drop him a message as he lists the ones for the 225 all the time :)
