They are very nice ones, had a couple a while ago but sold them on ebay, very good quality, though the price is a bit steep.Try this seller instead:

Fitted my wee Fast friend a couple of months ago:

looks like a $ex toy 

Could always get a cheap e bay one and get your gear gaitor retrimmed, I paid £35 to have mine done:

Liking that retrimmed gaitor Al. A word of advice too...if you're gonna have a sex toy gear knob then be sure and get yourself an ejector seat. It cuts out the unnecessary smalltalk afterwards

Haha, love the balaclava and the re-trimmed gaitor looks awsome.
Id like that OEM gear knob you got there but not willing to pay that much for one lol.

Would something like this fit??

I'd kill for that golf ball gear knob in 5 speed! Anyone know if they exist? I'd even settle for a knock off

I believe forge do a nice gearknob listed for the MK5.

If you wanted to i'm sure you could buy a 6 speed one, hack up an old 5 speed one and put the diagram in the top,may need a bit of transparent filler to fill around the gaps if they don't fit, but would look OK I assume.

I have been thinking about getting one for my wifes Lupo, but not sure if the knob would fit on her stick.....
