stufarri 98 3 Cars Posted March 9, 2009 Hi, I have bought Gerry's 205 CTI and will be collecting this on Saturday 14/3. I need to replace the gear knob as the existing one is worn. Is the Phase 1 CTI gear knob different to the phase 1.5/2? In addition - I now the carpets are rare but has anyone got a spare one as the existing carpet is orange/pink. Has anyone found a good breaker/website etc for getting hold of any phase 1 or CTI parts - they are pretty rare now. In addition what should the seats look like in phase 1 CTIs - grey with red horizontal stripes? Thanks Stu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveW 6 Posted March 9, 2009 Gear knob is the same just the insert is differt due to the older cars with the left up reverse, good luck with a carpet mate! as for spares keep an eye out for the cj as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan_cole69 0 Posted March 9, 2009 CTI carpets are like gold dust! Your better off trying to restore the one thats in it or buying a GTI one and adding a piece on. Depends on how good you are at sewing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALEX 98 1 Cars Posted March 12, 2009 Try Jet washing your carpet, Mines got Glue all over it and its very slowly comming of with my Argos £60 Karcher pressures washer. I tried using the higher pressure nozzel for it to try and speed things up, but it ended up taking a clump of carpet off, oops! Lukily it's under the seat!. I've washed one before with it and it came up like new, It even brought the redness back as that was pink in places before I washed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
