Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi, I have just bought a 2004 C4 and I love it but the gearstick and handbrake could do with a little TLC. You can see they’re worn and a bit pitted. I’d be very grateful if anyone can point me towards where and how to either DIY or get someone to restore their former glory? Thanks very much in advance.
Just call it "patina" and put up with it.
Thanks that's very helpful. I was hoping someone might actually help me out perhaps from their own experience of doing this.
You might want to try one of the leather refurbishing outfits like RoyalSteeringWheels or Southbound Trimmer's etc. Customers often discard their unwanted handbrake/steering wheels there and swap them for refurbished ones. They may have what you're looking for lying around. I've never heard of these metal bits being restored.
You can always try 9Apart https://www.9apart.co.uk/ as they have lots of second hand parts.
