Hi All!

Not sure if anyone can help me, but I'm after "a bit of a dodgy favour..."


I recently got hold of a gear knob from a VRX as part of an upgrade to my povvo-pack ES, but unfortunately the leather has started to come off:

I really can't afford to buy a new replacement knob, so was hoping a ClubCJ member with a VRX with the same knob could do a temporary swap and drive mine in when their next service is due and score a free-fix for me...!


Doesn't hurt to ask!

*peace*


Cheers!

That's not the base model gear knob. It's a Mitsu factory upgraded accessory.

"Lancer style pack"

Also you might consider getting it retrimmed if no one here can help you, it's only a small surface area hopefully would be easy and cheap to do

@Marus: - that would explain why no-one's got one...

@Akram: - probably be more than the knob's worth to re trim it...

THe knob that was damaged is the upgraded accessorie. The standard VRX knob is the full leather one.

The full leather one looks better anyway
