Pics are so poor that no one can see them! lol
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Toms306 - 26-02-2015
I didn't post them as they didn't come out I meant.
Its just plastic glare lol, I can stick them up if required though.

£75 OMG! think id fit a pool ball
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Toms306 - 26-02-2015
Each to their own lol, originality ftw!
I realise its expensive, but you won't find them anywhere else, will go on ebay if everyones too tight on here.
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - ginge191 - 26-02-2015
£75!?!? godddamn, is this what they go for?! i've got a tonne of these new, collection almost!
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Eeyore - 26-02-2015
I was going to buy these with tom but in the end I didnt so tom bought them both. As far as we could tell these were the last brand new ones left.
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Toms306 - 26-02-2015
Yup, moment of madness, impulse buy.
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Mattcheese31 - 27-02-2015
£75?? . . . ..since when did Tom start Trolling?, i've bought cars for not much more . .
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - 1616six - 27-02-2015
Tom how much of a profit are you making on this?!?! You would NOT have paid that much if I know you as well as I think I do lol.

As said, it was a moment of madness and, with hindsight, a major fail.
There is a very small amount of buffer in the price as everyone expects something off but that's it.
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Toms306 - 25-03-2015
So, gonna have to take a hit on these. Are there any reasonable offers on here?

Yeah they've been on there for 3 weeks...
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - puglove - 25-03-2015
Tried the gti forum?? They go mad for oe parts you cant get any where lol
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Niall - 25-03-2015
Tom message me tomorrow to remind me and ill stick the add on the 6 forum. Pretty sure they will go on there
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Toms306 - 26-03-2015
They're just as tight over there lol. I haven't got paid membership over there though so I can't.
Niall you're welcome to if you want, I won't hold my breath though lol.

I don't think 'being tight' has anything to do with it. £75 for a gearknob is a bit ridiculous for a car worth a few hundred
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Toms306 - 26-03-2015
The type of cars where the owner wants a brand new OE knob aren't going to be the few hundred quid shitters lol. You have to pay 40 posted for a used one when they do occasionally pop up.
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Eeyore - 26-03-2015
Guys can we stop flaming the thread. Tom bought two and I suggested I may have one but then never needed it hence Tom is left with one. This is essentially what he paid for what we believe to be the last or at least some of the last brand new OEM gear knobs available. You cant get them from peugeot any more and even when you could they werent much cheaper than this. For anyone who is restoring a gti6 and wants a genuine car as it came out of the factory this is what you want. For you guys who essentially want something that isnt ripped then this isnt for you.
Comments of "£75 for a gearknob is a bit ridiculous for a car worth a few hundred" doesnt help. If you wanted genuine working air con then youd probably be paying more than the cost of the car to have it working... but shelling out the money is the only way to get a new working system. Just because the car is cheap doesnt mean all the parts reduce in price in the same way.

That's fair enough. My point was that just because people don't want to spend £75 on a gearknob, doesn't mean it's because "everyone's too tight".
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Eeyore - 26-03-2015
fair enough. Lets let any prospective buyer get on and buy it. If it kicks off on here then ill clean it up.
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - darrenjlobb - 26-03-2015
If you don't want to buy a gearknob for £75.00 then dont post in this thread.
306's are getting older, parts are getting rarer...welcome to the world where in the future, prices for seemingly "every day" items start to go up....esp when they are brand new genuine parts...
If you dont want a new one, just spent tenner on a semi good used one on ebay!
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - toseland - 26-03-2015
Will this fit the HDi? that little '6 adds 30bhp AT THE WHEELS!

Glad someone understands how it works.
Won't find one for a tenner for a '6 even used though, one guy that was interested in this eventually found a used one for £40 posted to put some perspective on this. They're not like the common 5 speed that you could pick up for £10-£20 used any day.(26-03-2015, 06:28 PM)toseland Wrote: Will this fit the HDi? that little '6 adds 30bhp AT THE WHEELS!
Yep....but only if you fit a 6 speed 'box with lift reverse.
Which the HDi does need afterall...

I would have thought it'd fit, just bare in mind it won't actually add that 6th gear though...so don't try putting it in that gear while driving!
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Niall - 26-03-2015
I paid £5 for my mint condition 6 knob....only because Dum was selling the remains of his old bianca though lol
Guys, to echo what others have said, if you're not interested, don't post. Its quite simple really.
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - Toms306 - 27-03-2015
£55 anyone? Will be dropping ebay price later today, just wanted to give you guys first chance.
RE: GTi-6 Knob - Brand New In Packet - £55 - Toms306 - 29-03-2015
Any interest? Going to the PO tomorrow...
