hi there, just after some info and pics if poss, basically I have been directed here as some people on another forum have told me some of the varients of 206 have metal/alu gearknobs
I refurb and repolish them to near new condition, example pics for puma gearknobs i have done on other forums
Before
Same gearknob same position after
customised lettering colours
All i need to know off people is if the 206 gear knob is all one piece and if it has any plastic bits other other materials used.
Also if anyone would be interested in the service, cost would be around £10 inclusive

taking the gearknob off is a right pain - if you break the plastic inner bit then Peugeot only sell it on the gearlever, which isnt cheap.

ah wasnt sure on that, i remember my on megane coupoe was a pain in the a**e, ended up having to glue a new one back on
PS not sure exhaust cleaner would get rid of pitting and scratches there's more to it then that in my method lol, actually involves machining a layer of the surface off

how are you supposed 2 remove dents/scratches etc. with exhaust cleaner? lol there's obviously a bit more work than rubbing some cleaner on a rag fool
