gutted   :sad: there was a thread on UKMKiV (tihnk i posted it in MOds for £100) which said apparently the bloke had 55 not 5!!  Seems to be posting 3/4 up at a time

Was fairly simple - biggest pain is the clip holding the old gearknob on  :angry: need a bit of brute force.  Also you need to resuse the existing plastic base which your current gearknob clips too; you may also have to trim the gaitor of the new one as there's quite a bit more and its not elasticated.  Need to tidy mine up a bit more.

Overall i'm chuffed with it and it doesn't look OTT  :cool:
