Gearshift Knobs
Sounds kinda a strange question but what gear shift knobs do you have on your bug?
While driving rosie on the weekend my wife commented on how i had a timber style steering wheel and a black gear shift knob lol.
So I guess I should go to Supercheap and get a matching gear knob.
So I guess here it goes, show us your knob lol and where did you get it from?

I have a type 3 gear knob... dark grey color..
they came in one or two colors
they are made from two pieces..
top piece and the lower knob...
I always liked them..
type 3s also had a cover over the hand brake...
You could probably buy a wooden knob with a VW emblem on it...??

What's wrong with the stock VW one? They are $4 brand new from Wolfsburg west for example.

Guess I should show my new one.
My Carbonfibre one had been in for more than 5 mins so was due for a change...... actually I shouldn't be sarcastic, it's been over 10 years now.
I wanted a nice round symetrical one seeing as my gearstick likes to do the twist while I'm driving.
Weighing half a metric crapload of spun alumnium goodness 
Excuse the dirty carpet..... gotta love red soil macadamia country
