Cheap Black Plastic cover on volume knob

Go to a car audio place, tell them what happened. They'll figure it out. They're usually surprisingly good.

 

There was a company on the Aston Martin forums (6speedonline) that was fabricating replacement machined aluminum knobs for AM.
They were nicely machined billet pieces, much nicer than the plastic factory knobs.
I can't see the fcar knobs being drastically engineered that they couldn't be reproduced.

 

Do a search on the Aston Martin forum at 6speedonline.
There was a company that was machining billet aluminum replacement knobs for AM.
I can't see that the fcar pieces would be so drastically different that they wouldn't be able to machine some decent replacements.

 

Take a shot, maybe one of these places will sell you the know but the right price.

OMG, just looking at that site makes my stomach turn.

 

I have no idea about the price difference either. We all know these brakes are expensive, whether we drive Fezzas, Porsches, Meccas, Lambos and what not, so I don't find that difference interesting, and I don't think it's huge.

But it seems to me that the "relevant" questions at hand here, would be. "How much does an interior plastic knob for a Mecca cost?" and "Is Mclaren as pricey when it comes to small cheap replacement bits?"

 

There is a German wrecker on eBay (sorry don't have the link) who could help you for sure. Maybe surf a bit on eBay and you will find them. A buddy has bought from them before.

 

Just another reason I don't give the valet my keys!

 

HAHAHAHAHA!! Good one.

 

Great idea. It's worth a try.

 

I recall your thread and I came across this source. They are in the UK, but I'm sure they can probably help you. The specialize in exotic car salvage parts. Good luck:

if you can't get it from FNA post a close up of the part on and a pic of it missing i can find you a close replacement or make one. go check out 2012 to 2014 Chevy Tahoe LTZ look at the knob on the radio/nav looks close

 

Does anyone have a place that does take off parts from wreaked Ferrari's? I know with my Mucielago I bought a take off wheel, instead of paying 5k from Lamborghini. Just a thought.

 

Links have been posted in the thread.

 

gave them a call they want $1050 for the whole unit. 2013 Ferrari 458 Italia [Ferrari 458 Italia] - $0.00 : Exotic Auto Recycling, Leading part supplier for Ferrari, Maserati, & Lamborghini

 

The breakers will not want to separate the knob from the unit, either.

 

Resurrecting an old thread since I'm missing this same piece. Anyone have the exact dimensions so I could get one 3D printed? Or a source that I'm not thinking of? I messaged Sticky No More just in case they have a parts bin... Thanks in advance all

 

That's what you get for listening to the "audio" system versus just listening to the engine .... <kdding> - well actually for me not kidding but I realize a lot of people enjoy the audio systems in their cars - Or perhaps you were just using if for voice navigation/activity so you get a pass <kidding again>

 

Honestly the stereo in the 458 I picked up is 100x the quality of the California - both supposedly have the Premium system from the factory. Nice to have the option, but certainly listening much more to the engine than the radio! Cheers
