Several months ago on here someone decided to mod the Mk5 gear knob to their Mk4, n did a good job too. This gave me the inspiration to change from my standard 6speed knob (although I didn't want to follow the trend of going Anni or R32). I really like the look of the Mk5 GTI gear knob, but they were all selling for in excess of £80 on ebay :undecided:
I was scanning through eBay at all VAG gear knobs n came across this one that was fitted to Ibiza's, Leon's, Exeo's etc. It's a tad 'sportier' than my previous gear knob, n at £18.50 posted, what's not to like! :cool:

Was it you toby that did the mini 'how to' on the mk5 knob? :smiley:

Yeah it was! Is that knob a strate fitment?
-
That looks great, as Toby says, how much work was involved in fitting it?
-

Yeh it was a perfect fit! :cool:

I had to unpick the staples from the ibiza gaitor (which was attached to the plastic rectangular 'thing' that clips into the centre console) as it is a different shape to the golf one. Once I removed that plastic, I stretched the gaitor over the golf plastic 'thing', glued it into place and let it dry. Only a minor bit of the gaitor needed trimming off :smiley:

That's what permanent markers are for! :grin:

Know exactly what you mean, but other than hacking an Anni/R32 knob, I don't know where I'd source one? I'm just pleased with the improvement over my standard gear knob! :smiley:
-
very nice mate :cool: and as you say a big improvement over the standard one :smiley:
