ED30 gear stick with standard leather gator?
« on: January 14, 2015, 09:52:26 pm »
Good evening,

I really love the look of the golf ball style gear knob that comes in th ED30s, but the red stitching on the leather gator would look really out of place in my regular GTI.

I just thought, is it possible to have the gators switched over? Or is it all one piece?

Cheers!

I fitted an ED30 one in my regular GTI, it doesn't look out of place, even now with a re-trimmed centre console which has white stitching. Plus, ripping apart an ED30 with serious down it's re-sale value.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Mmm, i'd deffo prefer it without the red though! yeah that's exactly what i was wondering, would it be tearing it apart, or simply taking it apart and can be swapped back over later on?

by the sounds of it, it's all one thing and can't be seperated?

That is perfect! Thank you so much!

Now.. Does anyone know of anyone selling an ED30 knob? Or at least how much they tend to go for?

Well, there's an ED35 one on here for £90, seen ED30 ones sell for similar.
