I like that, but think Red would suit the LCR interior better as all the rest of the detailing is red

Not like the Altea Sport one? Same as the Leon sport one but cheaper lol

I like the MK2 knob & steering wheel too........

they've got wise to that. same part number for both now. and it's the higher price

 

[ChrisUK]

Ah, greedy b@stards !!

No decent one's on Ebay either, been looking at them myself lately

 

[kez]

i know. i stumped up for one at the dealers in the end

I got a new sport one off ebay for £60 delivered. Leather and alu.
Rare as hens teeth for sale and also new. I was pleased but had a right bid battle

 

[BCM]

ordered a 6 Speed yellow one there 65.99 in my local seat garage!
bit expensive but f it!

looks great, love the colour.

a bit cheeky, do you know if i can get just the top with 6 gears on instead of buying the complete knob

 

[skullmunki]

this may sound like a stupid question (another one!), but will dealer still sell all the accessories on that site? as in the armrests? With the OEM rests, do you still need to hack some of the console off?

 

[BCM]

prob still need to hack some bit off mate, it just slips into the wee cubby hole infront of the rear ash tray i think! you can get the armrest of flea-bay for bout 20 bucks, OE ones are bout 100 plus! know what i'll be doing!

Im not sure if I like that, looks a bit cheap IMO. Also looks like the standard knob from a peugeut 106....all you would need then would be the wee yellow balls for your door-locks!

The nicest i think is still the SEAT Sport half leather one...

 

[CHR15B]

It looks like the OEM Mk4 Sport one with a yellow band on it.

 

[RobM]

I love the look of that half-metal Seat knob, but after having a metal topped gear knob in my previous car I would never do it again, nor would I ever recommend it!

In the cold winter it's freezing and takes 10+ mins to warm up so you can feel comfortable using it.

In the hot summer it's too hot to touch, literally. Think back to last summer, did you ever burn your hands on your seat belt metal clips? Now imagine having that heat applied to your hand, but over a wider area. That's what it's like to change gear.

My Mrs' has the same problems with her Puma, which has a metal knob as standard. This has now been changed for these very reasons!

Looks great. Horrible to live with.

I like the ones that glow red like the dash! It blend in and look abit posh aswell

 

[RobM]

The neon ones? Would look ok next to your fake-Burberry cap

NOT THE ONE THAT MATCHS THE PINK SKIRT
The OEM look! but has the same glow as the the dash!
