Quite right, it seems getting that pattern on ya knob is hard lol
but seriously these are good quality and a decent price.

I just had a Polo hire car in Dublin that had the same shift pattern... presumably any blinging aftermarket knob aimed at the VW sector would do the job on a wedge then...

Thanks Ian - that was me
Exactly what I was looking for, so have ordered.
Only thing is I had a bit of trouble with pay pal due to having to re-register a new email address and I think I may have ordered 2 knobs!

Any chance you could email the sellers telephone number to me?

Very nice indeed and looks a good match with the handbrake sleeve.
Mine's on its way bounce
Next question Ian - What make is the handbrake sleeve and how much?!

Handbrake lever was fitted by dicky before I had the car but being as efficient as he is I have the receipt, It came from Leven technology stock number HBH4 and cost £50 in August 2003.

Anyway - who looks at the end of their knob before "slipping it in reverse"???

The fit is universal, and he does have them with your gear pattern
