steering wheel/gear knob

[miller1899]

My old mum has got a 1.6 Golf. I think it's at least one if not two generations old. The problem is that the gearknob and steering wheel are too thick for her to hold. She may also have a bit of arthritis as well, which doesn't help. In the old days they used to be quite thin, but apparently it is reet sporty for them to be thicker. Can you please tell me where you go to buy a thinner wheel and slimmer gear knob etc - preferably still VW. The main dealer wasn't much help - surprise, surprise.

thanks v much

What year is the car?

It's probably just a game of nabbing something out of the equivalent base model.

Thanks and sorry for delay. I forgot I wouldn't be around. I am not sure what year it is but it must be the base model, or thereabouts. I think I should have said that non-VAG parts are fine. As long as the airbag still works I don't suppose my mum cares about the brand.

Any ideas?
