Hi all so my gear knob is looking tired. I have had a look about on various places and either cant find one that fits or looks nice. Just wondered what you guys recommend replacing it with. The gaitor is fine though. Got part numbers off the plastic surround...

It's a Seat leon cupra 1.8t 20vt 2002. I'm tidying it up for sale.

There is very little options especially if you want to replace it with OEM. The seat sports knobs are discontinued.

I am probably going to get a euro adapter and gear knob from https://wearelikewise.com/
Yes so I noticed...I would like to get it close to original as I said I'm selling so just want it looking nicer. I didnt actually think it would be such a mission to find one lol

Tbh there are plenty available but most aren’t that interesting. That is because VW Audi group have a different fitting to the rest of the world.
Go figure?
You can use any Vw Audi gear knob or those made for them.
So TT or R8 will fit etc.

Leather dye.

Thats what i used. Mine had turned red it was so worn.

Used leather dye on it and it looked like new.
A year later and its starting to show through again.
But if you're selling the car, itll tidy it up for now.
Did my steering wheel aswell.
