Chrome button for auto shifter

BFD83 · 27-11-2008, 12:42 AM

Is it just me or are these impossible to find?! I'm badly wanting to get one to match the chrome door handles and handbrake button i got but as yet..no such luck? Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers.

Yep, nearly impossible to find. Reasonable option might be to try a place that does plastic chroming.

Try ebay they usually have heaps for EF/L which as far as I know is the same shifter as AU.

haha yep same problem here... They go on ebay for $70+ with a chrome button, or the rest of them dont even come with a button!!!

BFD83 · 27-11-2008, 10:10 AM

Yeah i tried to get one a while ago on ebay but lost the bid :(

They are totally possible to get. See em on ebay all the time. Though you will have to pay over $100 for them.

Thats what i meant, ya cant get a set for under a hundred. last set i bid on went for 89buks with 20buks postage, and theres buy it now ones on there for 110 plus postage...

Surely it would be around the same price to just chrome dip the ones i got ay??

You would be surprised mate. I think chrome dipping is pretty expensive.

There was a way for all of us in this same situation to avoid the pain we are constantly in.

We could have bought a Ghia in the first place! *Cries*

I saw a ripper black AU3 Ghia V8 in Melton today.
