    If you have money and want style Momo products will sort you out nicely. Lookin through the adds in PVW or The Golf, there are loads that sell leather gaitors and knobs etc. Personally I am wairy about changing gear lever bits because some of it looks awful. You could get leather parts off your local stealership, will cost ya mind.

    i can't remember what dealer or trader it was, but i got leather handbrake and gearstick gators from Gti international this year for my old mk3 16v at 10 each!! they were really nice and good quality too. i know the next inters is probably a bit long for you to wait but 20 for the pair is a HELL of a lot cheaper than anything else you will find.

    I've got a Momo Race Air Leather in my Jetta.
    (it looks looks a bit Audi TT-ish as it has little dimples drilled into the top)

    I've fitted a VW badge off a MK4 swithchblade key as the Momo badge came off and got lost.

    I need to get a gaiter though, I'm looking for one of the ones with a screw thread to fit to the base of my gear knob.

    Did you get anything, then? I'm also looking for a new gaiter (and probably a gearknob too) for a Mk II. If you're happy with what you got, I'd be interested to see it. :)

    Cheers,

    Mal.

    Snappy Gaitors do excellent leather gearstick and handbrake gitors in soft black leather.

    About 10 to 12 quid each. Bargain.

    stick 2 strips of velcro to the handbrake below the console and then velcro the gaitor on and replace the console. Don't think they have a site, but they do advertise in the back of The Golf mag.

    The leather is really good quality and isn't at all shiny or cheap looking.
