Does anyone know of any alternative gearknobs for the vRS? I find the standard item a bit too square for my liking, it doesnt seem to feel comfortable in my hand and was going to look at alternatives.

I want something that looks as oem as possible, with a slightly rounder profile.

Any suggestions appreciated.

You might be able to get hold of a MK5 Golf GTi one, they are quite rounded.

Poor pictures and not a GTi one but it does look 6 speed -

I was going to ask if the MkV GTI **** would fit.

That answers my question. Thanks Stu.

I loved the shifter in my GTI, so may have to keep my eye out for one.

Is it a simple swap do you know?

I was thinking this to myself this morning... Does anybody know if the Fabia vRS one will fit? Can't see why it shouldn't but I know it's a squeeze on fitting rather than a nice simple grub screw.

Fabia one is quite nice IMO

Is the surround that clips into the centre console compatible with a vRS? If so, this is a quality item.

That looks v.nice, thanks Stu for another one of your wallet busting tempters!

Ouch. 200 dollars :eek:

For that my kn0b can stay as it is.

Hmmm. Having a **** that fits perfectly into your hands. I suppose some resort to that :P

I like my ****. My wife says she does too. Should I trust her ? VRSSTu - please advise before you're voted off!!

I like my **** and am quite attached to it so won't be looking for a replacement.
