Has anyone fitted a 182 Gearknob??
Did you not know that the Trophy, far from being a Renault "SPECIAL" was in fact just an "end of line, use up all the bits in the parts bin and see if we can cobble together something reasonable" project for the work experience kids and the fact that it turned into such a brilliant car was a total mistake that Renault made the most of with some canny marketing :wink:
There are a several threads on how to fit an aftermarket knob on here if you hit the search

Where did you get it from? The stealers?
There no difference in gear knobs just a different colour insert!

I really cant remember there been any difference between my old 182 and the Trophy gear knob, although it was 2yrs ago when i sold my old 182 so i could be incorrect.
If your going to get one from the stealers why not go for a Clio V6 metal ball. THIS is what Renault should've fitted frm the factory. From the sound of it it's around the same price as the leather one but it makes my car feel a little more special (if thats at all possible) I got the code from the Renault website/accs & i will try to get some pics up soon...Part number 6000073675 £45.11 + VAT
Wouldn't mind seeing a 182FF gearknob pic...?
I've always wanted a V6 gear knob. I always remember seeing the V6 at bedford autodrome and wondering about it. I wasn't sure if it was a straight swap or not. Not sure if it would look right. I have a steelers round my local shops lol, so lazy.
How do you remove/refit them?
I found all i needed to remove the old Knob on here...there's a thread somewhere. I was able to roll the old plastic cover off once the hard piece had been popped out. You are then left with a moulded plastic which needs to be cut away to leave the knurled top of the gearstick...the £60 ball of metal pops on & with the aid of some araldite your job is done. Not sure it will ever come off though!!
It also matches the silver (plastic) dash strips which is why i wanted one...must sort out the steering wheel as mines begining to melt...
