Only the original one. I probably could when I fit the new one.

Are you happier with how that feels changing gear? Also, is it really cold to the touch? No puns intended in either of these questions btw!

Did anyone who purchased a knob from Billetworkz have to pay any customs along the standard delivery charge?

I'm intending on getting one in the inevitable Black Friday sale next week.

Fitted today.

Quality - Excellent, beautifully machined.
Weight - Feel’s slightly heavier

Haven’t driven the car with it fitted yet - yes it feels cool/cold to the touch but the aesthetics/feel/shape/ergonomics are good.

BTW the standard fit gear knob is a quality item.

70 miles scheduled for Friday - will share feedback on how it feels after that

I like the standard one, it just slightly small in the hand and a bit light for fast shifting I find. I didn't even think about waiting to see if there was a Black Friday sale price to offset the inevitable import taxes!

Thinking the same. Doh!

If anyone has a link with some form of discount when they find one would be great. Best price I can see is around about $160 shipped plus import so probably around £185 which seems a bit steep.

Has anyone got a direct link to this beauty? Still can't seem to find it on their store page? Cheers.

Absolutely, a nice bright blue knob is waiting in my basket ...

Euphemism?

My parcel has arrived at home with the knob from the US, looks like I managed to by-pass any import charges. Hopefully

Do you need to buy the reverse lockout adapter with this or can it be fitted without? Have my eye on the matt black sphere, looks great.

 

[grzoostuff]

I think if you go for the teardrop you don't need an adaptor but others do, maybe those who have the shifter can confirm?

I think the same - the short teardrop doesn’t require an adaptor. The others do.

I thought that with a parcel from Germany, then 3 weeks later I got a bill from DHL for £60 Gutted …
