Been curbing my spend on the Zed recently but couldn't resist snapping up the last Buckley06 handmade knob.
Great piece of kit for £37 including P&P - nice and weighty :thumbsup:

I think that looks great, suits your interior perfectly. And such a good price too, you must be chuffed :thumbsup:

I found a heavier gear shift knob really improved the feel of the shift action on my si, particularly the 1st to 2nd difficult album, the extra weight damps down the notchyness & carries the action through easier :P

Refurbed wheels always bring on a warm glow inside (until a curb jumps out & ruins everything) :P

Love the 32s! Have you got spacers on the fronts, or do I recall you saying they are a set of four rear wheels?

Thanks Zoomer - they look brighter and more glossy in the flesh, the pics make them look a little grey and flat
