I got one brand new in the for sale section of the forum, Ã‚£40 delivered.

Now got it in my mk2, lovely gear knob just hard to find.

Keep an eye out on the forums and on ebay and one will turn up.....

.....eventually!

The mk3 anni gearknob is a very cool OE gear knob.

Quaity is damn good aswell. Can't see pics of what you were suggesting as there was no link.

Post by: bushy on 19 August 2007, 10:40: Yeah, personnally l'm all about originality with my cars, using parts from other models or period items to give a original look with a bit of a twist and l love the fact that the anniversaty gear knob harks back to mk1 but is ahlf leather,/half ali to give a more up to date feel. Subtle.

Post by: stomper on 29 August 2007, 13:06: Doubt if they do the mk3 anni gearknob, i know they do the mk2 plastic golf ball, not the same though.

Post by: floaty on 04 September 2007, 15:23: They DO do the anni gearknob as i bought one from there. It's about Ã‚£50
