Just noticed your sig - good spec too. Dynaudio is a good choice, although you'll need to keep the volume down to hear the exhaust note  :wink:
Edit: Funny you should say that - I really miss the golf ball gearstick too. Someone must do it as an option.

I did wonder if the mk5 and mk6 if the centre concel cutout for the gearstick panel was the same size and shape. If it is we can probably fit the golfball one from the Ed30. :smiley:

It would be interesting to know. I find the GTD gearstick a little on the 'skinny' side compared to the Ed30. The golf ball felt just right.

I stole the Golf Ball one from my ED30 when I was up at the garage removing my stereo / roadpilot / belongings after it'd been written off.
Its quite easy to get into, but you need to snap a metal clip off to get it off.  I just used a pair of bolt cutters - any marks you make are inside the leather gaitor, and invisible once its fitted.  Re-fitting a new metal clip isn't vital as its really stiff to get off without it anyway.

Once I decided I was getting a DSG, I put it in the classified section here.  I got £100 for it if I remember correctly.

I was surprised the scrap dealer who bought the car from me never mentioned it!

GTD faster than GTI?
« Reply #36 on: 08 February 2010, 13:21 »
Why does VWKev say the GTD is faster than the GTi when the figures don't support that? GTD 0-62 8.1secs, top speed 138; GTi 0-62 6.9secs top speed 148.

How does that make the GTD faster?

 :huh:

Don't ask me dude, everyone with a shred of a brain cell knows the GTI is faster, but I keep getting told the GTD is faster so I'm just looking to fit in with the crowd.
