I got a gaiter and leather gearknob off Ebay for less than £15, really easy to fit and made a nice difference. Someone bought my original wood trim one for £18 too  :smiley:
My Golf is dead but at least I have this....

Net optic trim currently at £16. Just remember you will need to get the radio cage with the removable trim for the net optic to go on as well.

I have the wood trim already, Just bought new wood set of everything just to get one missing piece ( left radio cage)

But got some 3M Vinyl to cover it! Was the cheapest and hopefully will look ok :p

I think thats awesome! any tips or just pretty self explanatory?


Also just bought new gaitor and gear knob for <£15 :p

Thouroughlly degrease the surface before applying the vinyl, heat slightly to get the vinyl to wrap round curves, and to set the vinyl off completley it needs to be heated to 80 degrees (heatgun), after it has been heated to this temp it will set off and you wont be able to manipulate it any more. If you dont set it off it will slowly peel/shrink back to its orignial shape after a few weeks.
