new idea

sleve over the bottom of the gear knob and the top of the plastic slider on a cinq to get a non standard cinq gear knob on!!!

sorry last pis should be

Well it's better than my pulling the reverse cable by pinching the gaitor trick of getting reverse ;)

Black '95 Cinquecento Sporting: K&N, Eon2's, Abarth style spoiler with brake light, Sony MD Head unit, Sony 6x9s, Kenwood 10cm & a stupidly loud 12" Pioneer Sub where spare wheel should be ;-)

im still baffled how to do it hehe! damn knobs...

its easy to change them - just need to search on here for ideas eg: my sleeving method
buying a pull-up reverse
getting an expensive (crappy) gear knob with a larger hole on it

or fink of a new way 2 do it

cheers

:-|

all this is so intimidating, stupid cinqs! :(

Abarth Kitted Cinq Sporting, New lil siggy pic coming soon, till then.... not much really lol

argh - intimidating!?!?!?!?!?!?!
you and your ABARTH kits are intimidating - There everywhere!!!!
(pure jelousy)

can i get an abarth kit to fit on a std cinq sporting?

yes you can ;)

lol and there arnt abarths everywhere ;) they're rare, had to do a 3+hr drive to get this one :p

looks intimidating because i have no clue where to even start thinking of looking to change the gear knob :p plus if i mess it up i got no car till i fix it :p

hey dave... proper nice cinq man... i love that idea, might have to look at that so i can get a new gear knob, really want a momo raptor, proper sexy!

random question... how easy was it to replace the bit at the top of the bumper with mesh? really strikin, awesome idea!!!

atm that picture is a photo shop production of mine
but
i want 2 start the meshing next week - so ill tell you on a scale of 1-10 how hard it was

cheers

cool man, go for it.... will look good tho.

so whats been done here (am i right in thinking..);

1) std setup
4) gearstick plus gearknob with some kinda attachment inbetween which the gearknob will screw into? (:I gets more and more dodgy)

1) took off plastic slider on cinq gear stick
2) measured siz of tube and bottom of new gear knob (22mm on both)
3) got a tube with 21.5mm inside to tighly fit on the top of the gear slider and bottom of new gear knob

not dodgy my man
as the cinq metal gear shaft will slide up and down the inside of the new gear knob, so there is no pressure on the sleeve

still sounds very daunting either that or im still confused :(

Mase,meshing that top it would be very effing hard.not impossible....

The top mounts for the bumper are behind that. Would need careful work with a hot knife
