hello there
I have seen a few on-line both mk5 & mk6 non dsg, im sure you will find one if you have a proper look.
I guess there is part suppliers on this site somewhere but fitting a dsg wheel to a non dsg car seems strange.
would like a mfsw myself so will be good to see if anyone helps you

A dsg wheel with paddle can be fitted to a manual car.

Obviously the paddles won't work

Would it not be annoying having (and feeling the paddles) and them not working?

AFAIK they can be unscrewed from the wheel.....
one just sold bout half hour ago on ebay with buttons and paddles removed so was a bare wheel..no airbag either

^^^^ didn't know that they could be removed, thanks for the info. I'm like you, I have an Eddy without DSG or a MFSW.

^^^^ don't get me started on my car either. Mine must have been originally been bought by a right tight arse, I've spent ££££ adding what should have been standard.   :laugh:

I could be wrong but I believe the Highline was a very cheap option at the time (read somewhere £50) so can't believe some cars don't have it.

They question should be why didn't VW make it standard than?

yes I did see somewhere they where about £50 as you say from factory, I think its got more to do with the buyer of the car not really knowing about it and the benefits  :pomppomp:
