2006 model Tranny knob

pertuan · 12-03-2006, 03:40 PM

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of getting the Sports gear knob for my 06 Focus. But before I do, I was just wondering if anyone else has it and if they thought it was good value. Are there any other knobs that might look better?

This is the factory sports gear knob.

Thanks

I got one for my wifes Zetec and it looks nice. Not sure if it's worth the money over the standard item though. Does look good with the alloy scuff plate however! I would definately recommend those items.

I have that knob in my fiesta. I find it fits with the interior better then any aftermarket knob.

how much do the gear nobs cost, and do they fit the LR model?

payed around 80$ or something. Cant find the invoice.

Hi Guys,

Is the Scuff plate a dealer fitted option or can I do it myself?

very easy. just buy em, they should come with all you need to attach. if not, double sided tape and a keen eye are all you need.

I've been thinking of the scuff plates as well. However, the MOMO ones are half the price. So I dont know if I should go MOMO or Focus plates.

I'd rather the standard gear knob.

If it didn't have the "starter button" as i like to call it at the side of it then id want it, but it just looks to busy for what a gearknob should look like.

Agreed, Nice looking from the top, until you look side on.

anyone else got any examples of other gear knobs that they are using? Pics?

Come to think of it, anyone got any goods sites I can go to to browse for the gear knobs and scuff plates?

I looked at Autotek.com.au. THey are a reseller for MOMO. But I found that the knobs they were offering just didnt fit into the look of the FoFo. I wonder who much the dealer could do the knob for....

Thanks for the link.

I had a look at the MOMO's and, personally I prefer the Focus scuff plate, the MOMO's look nice, but I wont have any other MOMO gear in the car so I think it will look a little silly only having the MOMO scuff plates and nothing else.

Yeah true that... but the FoFo plates are just so darn expensive.
