The R3VLimited rare parts thread

[roguetoaster]

Reminds me of one I had on my last VW... got it from a Wolfsburg edition, but half was stainless steel, the other half plastic. Wish I had of kept it for my E30. :(

What's the full part #?

It's not showing as NLA, but who knows.

The guy I got it from said he could only order them from Germany, I couldn't find any at big dealers in the states. I'll post pics when I get around to installing it. Car is currently in storage so it'll be a while.

Thanks for that! But $60??? I'll see if I can find another one from a VW in a yard or something. I'll just stick with my stock leather wrapped one for now at that price.

So apparently ecs now carries this shift knob but the price seems high for what it is

Always nice when a vendor rips us off.

If I'm gonna pay that much for a knob, it's gonna be on a street corner.

Fair enough

Pic of it installed? I just see VW in that knob.

Here you go, I really love it so far. Also continuing the golf theme for my shifter setup (you can see the old putter grip that I used before I got this )


Also got it for way less than what ECS wants for it (thank god)

Does anybody know how much Hartge steering wheels like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/261816711075...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) are currently going for? I'm not sure if the price is a little high there.

I actually was able to track down one of those knobs I was asking about earlier. Someone on the fb group hooked it up with a source.

Interesting. i just found a similar knob in an old abandoned VW rabbit near my GF's house a few weeks ago. looked weird so i snagged it. don't know if it's anything special. It's dimpled like the one pictured above but has a flat top.



here's a pic

Came out of the yellow one.

Are ACS style side mirrors really worth the $300 asking price most are posted at these days?

Hey MPL... the later ones from the MKIII Wolfburgs were nicer. Half plastic and half stainless steel. Should have kept it. :(
