im after pictures and information of what other people have fitted to their corsas in terms of gearknobs, be it after market or what.

im wondering if anyone can tell me if a corsa d gear knob would easily fit a corsa b as well?



thats my current gearknob, which is a standard one that did have a 6 speed insert which got smashed to bits when building the roll cage. i do not think its the easiest to hold, and im considering changing it to a circle/ball type. maybe an 8 ball one for some light humour?

the only thing is i have a 6 speed gearbox so it would look a little silly without having the additional gear pictured.

I've got a Corsa C SXi one in the Corsa.

Like this but not shiny.



Don't know if there's a 6-speed version.

there doesnt seem to be much 6 speed option apart from newer models and im unsure if they fit, or could be made to fit simply.

Yeah can indeed. Just wanting something decent to hold etc when changing gears as it gets used a lot.

Can you get an insert for it? For e.g my Clios one was just a sticker that was laquered over.

Steinmetz leather one is pretty nice. Great size and feel. Comes without the Steinmetz sticker attached, so you could just fit a gear map if you preferred.

As Brett said, Momo do some quality leather knobs as well, so might be worth a look.

The type I'd like is kinda like the quaife one which I think is nylon maybe. It's more the shape of the top of it.
