Title: Who's got what knob?
Post by: scarr89 on 18 July 2011, 20:29

I cannot be dealing with the walnut gear knob I currently have, looking at changing it asap. Just wondering what other gear knobs have opted for?

I like the ED30 'fast' gear knob.

Don't know where you'd find one though.

Yes please, gotta get myself one of those :drool:

Do you know if it needs any messing to fit or is it a direct swap?

direct swap. pretty easy. pull up leather, cut of old clip and pull of the knob. put new knob on, crimp new clip and clip in leather

R-line knob FTW

Thanks :afro:

The prices of some of these knobs is  :shocked: though.

I'm planning on keeping the MK4 for a good while, so far the longest i've had a car is 15months! It'll be a slow process and the interior is at the bottom of the list below the exterior and engine but eventually i'll get round it. It's always good to weigh up my options now though :grin:

I'd be tempted...but I just know if I lent my car to my mum or dad they'd end up trying to reverse and smash into a wall or the opposite!!
