Title: ED 30 Golf ball gear knob
Post by: too hot on March 16, 2009, 12:24:48 pm: Pardon my ignorance :wink:
Does the ED30 come with a Golf ball gear knob?
If so does anyone know the part no and price ?
I fancy retro fitting one to a standard GTI ?

Post by: markymark on March 16, 2009, 12:28:22 pm: They do come with a Golf Ball gear knob and red stitching, but they aint cheap. The part number I have is 1KO711113BSXPR, that is for the manual.

Yeah, it was not a problem, the handbrake cover's got some sort of plasticky clasp thing at the base, just grip the shaft (that's what she said), and it'll pull straight off.
Time to spend some time with the Real Doll...

Post by: garethmk1 on March 17, 2009, 12:39:51 am: Being the edition 30 saddo that I am, I bought one for Ã‚Â£80 brand new in the box - ready for the future when mine starts to wear. In fact I am so sad, that I'm looking out for all the edition 30 interior bits whilst they are available to keep for the next couple of years for when mine wear out. :embarrassed: :signLOL:

You'll struggle to get the mats as VW do not rrecognise the part number of the back :confused: I ordered some last week and I got a set of grey mats with red stitching and a red GTI logo. Which are actually really nice :happy2:
