gear knobs!!

This could never end. I was in the car taking the original off last night. And noticed that the surround around the sport button could be made to match as well.

Its true what they say a mans work is never done :thumbsup:
 
I have to say though I'm not a fan of this bright shiny stuff in my car. I even want to wrap the door handles/pulls with Carbon Leather.

Thats the freedom of choice. They are actual a dull brushed finish like the dash.

Ah but I removed that also and fitted Carbon Leather.

Perhaps I really want to be a Goth.
 
Uuumm the carbon leather dose look amazing. A mate had it in his M3.

I could make them out of aluminum and anodize black if you wanted :poke:
 
Crap I didn't have a calliper to measure with at home. None of it fits :headbang:
Still it's all slightly to small o it will all fit tomorrow :)
 
Ok so i have got all the bits made. Tried them last night and there was some final adjustments needed. Will fit and try again tonight.
The top of the gear knob all machined and looking lovely i think ( could do 5 speed )

A side view the recess at the bottom is where you do the screws up to secure it on. There is then a black o ring to finish.

A group shot handbrake handles. Gear knob and twiddle radio knobs. All the recess will have matching black o rings to finish.

I have spares of the gear knobs. If you would like one send me a pm?? Was thinking £40 - £45 for the engraved type £30 for the plain type.I cant do them any cheaper as i am having to pay for a bit of machining time and materials. I know you can get them for £20 on ebay. But these are ( i would say ) better quality. Handbrake handles are a pain to make so will do them if someone wants one. Same for the radio knobs.
 
Thanks Tommo

No one seems to want one tho. Be great in lets see a race prepped e36?????? I will drop it round over Christmas :poke:

You should try them on another forum for all bmw's

I love the look of them, but I like my leather zhp and leather handbrake handle
