The metallic looking (not sure what its made of) surround that surrounds the gear stick, any one any idea where to get a new one from?

Mines scratched from a metal watch when changing gear

 

Just use some rubbing alcohol and keep rubbing - you'll remove the silver painted stuff and reveal a chrome like finish.

 

It comes out great, like gunmetal chrome, I can take piccies of mine if you like.

 

Yes please.

Do the pieces of trim on the dash come out the same colour too?

 

Can these be purchased anywhere, mine has what looks like a chip out of it. Would really need so elbow grease to get that out

 

Same problem as dave, would be really interested in seeing a pic of it rubbed down....

Is it easy to remove?

 

Its a piece of cake.

Pop it off....rub some paint stripper on it and hey presto ...shiny shiny !!


Pull the whole centre console up....unplug the switches...remove the gearknob and the whole thing is in your hand.

 

Cool, might give it a go this weekend then. Cheers for the info Shipley.

 

anyone know if you can get new ones?

 

Good tips,

How shiny does it look? PhenomS2K could you post a pic?

Cheers
Dave
