Title: Expensive Gearknob
Post by: hib747 on 15 May 2009, 09:37: Went to my local VW garage yesterday to pick up a new gearknob (golfball 30 edition one). Was quite shocked at the price, £164.00!!! :sick: Had to buy it as i think they should have made these for the normal GTI in the first place.

I was thinking of getting the 30 ed steering wheel just for the red stitching but i've got a feeling i'm gonna have my pants pulled down over the price.

Anyone know where i can find a multi function one for a normal(ish) price

It would probably be cheaper to sell the GTI and buy an ED30 with it already in :shocked:
