Scratched RS4 gear knob how to fix?

Post by crown62 » Tue Aug 03, 2010 8:02 pm

Had my RS4 Avant for a week now, all great!! After 15 years in BMWs, mostly M3s, this really does feel bit more special!

Now having got shot of the horrid phone holder and fitted new centre console trim, my next thing is to sort out the gear knob. Not sure if this is just an A4 gear knob or is the RS4 different?

The first owner must have had rings on all his fingers on his left hand , as the immaculate cabin is only spoilt by the silver part of the gear knob being all scratched.

Any ideas, can you buy just the badge? does the badge come off, if so how? or is it the whole gear knob?
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated :D

DSGwagen on eBay AKA Hayseldens Doncaster sell new gear knobs but unfortunately they are £184.00.

Thanks for your help, but, that seems a lot :shock: Really want to sort this gear knob out.

Is there an official VAG parts online shop where you can browse, or is it just dealers that have access?
