Hi guys, bought a new gear knob insert as mine is completely faded, my car is in the garage at the mo but I'm almost 99% sure that this is so small for my gear knob, could but wrong but what do you guys think? i have put it on top of the key for a guide
Oem is brushed stainless steel and the gear numbers are engraved preatty deep. Will take a photo later if you wish
Mine is just a plastic one, numbers have faded off. The one above may look nice but its not curved like the original.
Both my 225s have a plastic gearknob insert, one is a 2005 and one is a very late Phase I. The 2005 Trophy had a very faded gear knob which I have replaced with the same one as in the picture, fits nicely and to this.... Although it's not flat not domed, it looks the part and shouldn't wear like the plastic one did. Not sure about the metal inserts, could be the usual Renault trick of changing random specs as and when. All I know is that a replacement gear knob (which is what you'd have to buy as insert not sold on it's own) is about £55.
How odd haha Is it a phase II 225 change? I do suspect it could just be a Renault thing where they change things as and when. For example my car is a 2006 phase I and a chap I knew had a late 2005 Phase I. Mine had little things that were like a phase II. A bit like Renault changing the engines
