Scrape the whole lot off mate, thats what i done, now got a white ring on the top of mine till i can convince myself to pay 70quid for a seat sport one!

 

[gb]

theres got to be something u can do apart from changing it

 

[BCM]

live with it, thats the options, you could paint it, but mmmm, don't think it would be too nice!

i want a seat sport one, anyone got the link?

 

[kieran]

Mine is doing this too, and my LCR has only done 30k!

its just general wear mate, all the old style knobs done it, its hard to find one that looks good and doesn't cost a fortune!

Just realised gb my last message looked a bit nippy! wasn't meant that way!

I peeled the remainder of the black paint off mine only yesterday, it looks ok for now, better than it did when it was all chipped anyway. You might be able to repaint and varnish it but is it really worth it?

Yup thats exactly what i done! Just left it as a white ring, i think it looks much much better!

Hmm your's is a lot neater than mine!! Better sort that out tonight!

 

[Mike Green]

That looks ok - I prefer the original but as mine is peeling will have to do the same! I don't want to pay the best part of a ton for a gear knob!

 

[Funkyfin2000]

i really like the seat sport one tho!

 

[BCM]

buy it, just hope your misses understands that you just paid 90bucks for a gearknob!

Mine won't thats why i dont have one!

Mine started to peel on my 04 LCR, fortunalty i got me a steal on here, a brand new one for 20 buck

i got one off ebay for a very good price.... thing is if it does this to mine i might just have a go at using a black permenent marker pen see if that looks ok, failing that look on ebay and get myself another ....

 

[BCM]

Oh no! Not permy marker, never goes on even! EVER!
