View Full Version : Clio Williams Gearknob - £25
Many times I have seen Williams' looking absolutely immaculate only to be let down by the worn numbers on the gearknob so if your gearknob insert has become worn or faded then I can refurbish it to 'like new' for less than half the cost of a new gearknob!
As you can see from the photos it looks exactly like how it should be when it left the factory:
OEM:

Refurbished:

It is painted in the right colour, and then with 3 layers of laquer which gives it the perfect glossy finish as well as making it long lasting.
All you need to do is leave your gearknob in situ, and carefully lever the insert out from it and send it to me. I'll then return it looking like new!
PM for more details.
First customer gets theirs done for £20!
Please note:
I do not need the whole gearknob
I always recommend sending the insert Recorded Delivery (I can not be held responsible for them going missing on their way to me!)
I will always return it by Recorded Delivery in a padded Jiffy envelope for protection
If your insert is scratched or damaged then it will be returned with the same scratches, just painted.

Kris, I can now fix the scratches so if you're interested I could still do it
Can you refurb valver inserts aswell.
Just Williams' ones I am afraid, however there is someone on eBay that can do valver/19 ones.

Mate, I'll fix it. I have about 6 inserts sitting and waiting to go. One has your name on it
A few I have done recently, to give you all an idea of what they look like:

Can still do these, and the price is only £14.99 now :D
Packs can I have a new one please as mine looks like someone scratched the white out with a screwdriver and I'm not sure you could fix it but I will send it to you, if you fill them before you paint them ?
Hi Jock, if you send me your insert I am sure I can sort it. Send me a PM and we can sort it (and the tax disc holder) out.
£15 now (if a mod wouldn't mind changing the title, that would be great)

Hi.
Can you do these in any colour or just standard?
I was going to buy a brand new one direct from renault but sorting the shell is costing me enough so may aswell have the standard insert done lol.
Pm me if it's easier for you :)
Cheers
What colour are you wanting? If you were to buy one from Renault it'd be an almost identical colour to the ones I do. Unless I'm confused ha

I think he has a Valver....:)
If they're black, I can do it.

Yes I do have a valver :) ATM the insert is in a state lol, I painted it red before, it's also loose too as the insert itself is from a williams and the knob is a valver one

I've started rubbing it down as I was going to paint it Naples lol

Get the white sticker from Stick-in and do it yourself... much better result.

You can take the insert out and then get a blue colour match from halfords (close to the instrument colour) then apply the sticker and lacquer over it...jobs a good un.
I think when packs was doing his he wasn't using the sticker...I think he masks the lettering in some way.
Regards Ian
Okay thanks Ian. Tricky to colour match precisely when I don’t have the original colour on the insert anymore 😬 so if you have any ideas....? D

I had another look at Packs pics and he maybe using the sticker...it's a bit hard to tell because his pics are a bit crap.
If he is refurbing with the sticker may as well get one of his because his colour match looks pretty good.

Thanks Ian.
where is this guy?
is there a poke facility on this website 🤨

If you click on his profile name you will see you can send him a private message...whether he will see it is another matter.
He is on Ebay...this is one of his items...you could do a contact seller message.

Great thanks Ian I have done just that!
From p4cks:
I don't refurbish the gear knobs any more but I appreciate that you and other owners might want to do their own so I'm happy to share the details of how I did it with you so that you can share it with the community.
Firstly you'll need the decal - eBay item number 401577096627 (tel:401577096627)
Secondly you'll need some paint - it's Fiat Capri blue and Hycote do a good one
Thirdly you'll need some clear lacquer - it'll need three coats to ensure that the decal does not rub off.
1. Wash dead skin off insert (use toothbrush)
2. one coat of capri blue and allow to dry
3. apply decal
4. apply light coat lacquer and allow to dry x 3
Done.
Good luck

Don't think he is but you can do it yourself by getting the white letters from this company.
