You can pick up a chrome or polished golf ball knob on eBay for about 15 quid
Keeps it original but adds some shine and some will have the correct thread so will
Just screw straight on.

mk4 era ones fit, they are secured to the stick with a hose clamp rather than screwed on. see some nice leather ones :)
I have a MK2 G60 leather knob in mine, looks oe but feels much nicer than the rubbery leather look ones. not so easy to find em now, though new ones do pop up on ebay now & again.
