If you check out http://www.alababa.com you will find most of these parts your looking for at a fraction of the price.

Gear knob not the same but a large choice.
It works like this,
Broker = aliexpress take the payment.
Submit the order.
Company dispatch the order with tracking.
You recieve.
Broker pays company.
Simple's.
What i'm trying to do now is figure out how to buy off Chinese equivalent of fleabay called Taobao because the stuff they have on there is not only really cheap but the have some fantastic Ford stuff.

im really tempted to buy the illuminated scuff plates, the gear knob (if i find cheaper) (will also change from red/green to blue or white), the chrome fog light surrounds and the ignition barrel illumination.

how strange...i was just thinking this weekend that i'd like a different gear knob on my focus...bit sad i know haha. I like the illuminated gear knob but does it come in a 6 speed version? and where do u plug it in to in order for the electrcity to pass into it?
I quite like these too..both reasonable at £38 and £28.

Am i right in thinking that on my model focus (05 2.0TDCI Titanium 6 speed) the gear knob literally just screws off....has anyone done this, is it easy?

i took the gear knob off in a peugeot and got meself in the gob...a gear knob, a pair of mole clips and all your body strength does hurt
forgot to mention, yes there is a 6 speed version, funnily enough its the 5 speed thats hard to find.

haha i will be extremely careful when removing it then!
ah i have noticed a problem tho...the focus ST illuminated gear knob (6 speed) has the reverse on on the oppersite side to my focus:-( mine is on the far left and forward and on the ST one its on the far right and back. so i dont think the ST one will be any good:-(
might just have to go for this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ford-Aluminium-Finish-Lever-Mondeo/dp/B002UD7UKS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1314714688&sr=8-5
