Let me see your knobs.
« on: July 06, 2015, 07:22:19 pm »
As above guys I think it's time to change my gar knob again (manual) and wondering what different people have and what is required to fit them (if they need any fabrication/ cutting down).

I currently have the Votex knob




Votex is a straight fit.

I was hoping maybe we can get a comprehensive list of the options together and some links/ info on purchasing and fitting.

Cheers  :happy2:

Have you seen the Forge knob looks real nice and a decent size too  I also have the votex same as you but its starting to look a bit rough and stupidly priced so wont be getting again

I like the Forge one, but metal isn't my favourite, too hot or too cold!

I might be wrong but I think it's an Ed35 one. Previous owner fitted it so I'm not sure, someone else will correct me if I'm wrong though!

My favourite manual gearbox knob it's from the Scirocco R:



It's more discrete than the Ed. 35's but has the same great feeling while holding it. :happy2:

The Rocco R/ ED35 ones don't do it for me, I think the shape is wierd.

@Grande_GTi do you have any pics of your MK7 GTI one mate?
