Gear stick knobs.... leather to glass?

[dbrewood]

My stepson and I both own DS3 Sport Plus's and therefore have the leather gear knob. We botch fancy changing the knobs to canary yellow and sport red.

They are shown in the DS3 accessory brochure, but no part numbers are listed. Can anyone advise as to:

- The correct part numbers for each? (6 speed sport gear box)
- Anticipated price?
- Best place to source?
- And do the knobs simply pull off (with a lot of force) and the new knob pushed into place?

Cheers

The "glass" gear knob is in fact matal with a clear plastic insert - hot to the touch in summer, cold in winter. I'd rather have leather!

If you go to http://www.accessories.citroen.co.uk/ you can see the full list of accessories - you need to select a dealer to get prices.

Leather can get pretty hot in the sun. But the leather is too indistinct on the embossing and not as cool to look at!

I would like a leather one but the cost is just too high (around £30 + p&p).

Not quite a guide but he did take quite a few pics. If you're the handy sort I'm sure you'll work it out.
