    Guys as the caption says I've just ordered a GP2 gear nob and gaiter to replace my damaged gaiter

    Question as a purist to the 50 do I fit back the original nob with the new gaiter

    Or fit the new one,as I think the red will match the alacantara red on the wheel door handles and armrest which is in the car

    Why not get a nice carbon one to match the rest of the carbon on the WC50

    Had them before

    Just though the red would match the rest of the cabin

    But felt guilty at changing something

    I replaced the original red gear knob with a carbon fibre Works one....think it works. Think a GP knob would cheapen the WC50.............
