plastic experts, who can repair my gearknob?
odd one this i know...
the gearknob in my car is broken, the little plastic clip bits that clip onto the metal gearstick to hold it in place have gone all manky, and one has ven snapped, so my gear knob keeps coming off
simple solution? buy a replacement from BMW...
...for £150!!!!
so, can it be fixed?
i just need a way of attaching the gearknob securely on the gearstick, preferably by repairing the plastic clips so it fits on as oiginal, but if not some kind of alternate fixing method? (no more nail? 
)
any thoughts?

when in doubt ....get the Grip Fill out
I would recommned looking at somewhere like eurocar parts or even a compnay called German French and swedish car parts..
sure to beat that crazy price you have been quoted
Once plastic has snapped there is no way back
