Hi, i know it sounds a bit fussy but want to replace the gear stick knob and gaitor as the car is quite high miles and the numbers and leather is a bit worn. Trying to source a second-hand one from a wreck as the parts are purely cosmetic and I'm looking for a stock appearance but better than stock performance - getting the engine remapped, bigger breakes etc. How easy/complicated it is to make the switch? Could I do it myself? I'm fairly ok with my tool box but know next to nothing about cars.
 
It is a fairly easy job to do. Look for screw holes in the center console in the footwells and remove the gaiter from underneath, so many people try and do it from the top - the knob just unscrews.
