Mk3 VRS Gear Knob & New Wheel

Featured Replies

As Title, I treated my VRS to a new MK3 VRS gearknob and a steering wheel retrim from Jack at Royal Steering wheels.

 

I'll post a pic when on the car soon. The Gear Knob isn't a straight fit, see this thread for details: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/310595-octavia-mk3-vrs-gear-shifterknob-on-vrs-mk2/

 

Pics of wheel, with the bottom plastic parts now leather covered, silver stitching to match the seats and extra padding to make the wheel thicker (always thought the original wheel felt too thin)

The wheel was 115 including P&P, I had a spare one that I purchased off the forum. Sent it to them and within 2 weeks had it back. The quality is brilliant and the wheel feels much better being that little thicker, much closer to say an M-Sport thickness wheel now which I had in my old car.
