Expensive Gearknob
« 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

Nothing on eBay. ED30 MFSW is going to cost a fortune from the stealers.

LOL,

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

If they made it standard on the GTI it wouldnt make the ED30 as special. VW have always done this (a la 25th Anni MK4).

W***ers.They fitted it on the MK1 & MK2 GTI's should have done it on the mk5 as after all it was the return of the real GTI. :wink: :smiley:.
