Etsy has some. I found a seller that had both MK6 and MK7 plaid.
I got mine from stitch boots. Very high quality but was a PITA to install because it is so thick.

What did you do to your MK6 today?

Got it off Etsy
install was easy enough, although I would watch a video first. I wasn’t expecting to encounter large staples. Little embarrassing to admit.

Honestly they could have charged a handsome upcharge for this and tons of people would have gone for this option. Just looks sooooo right

Yes. Didn’t like the EI knob so I sold it and went back to the OE knob. It looked nice but that was about it. Bought it used and it was originally black but the sun turned it a nice bronze color.

You mind me asking what you didn't like about it? I generally like the look of it and don't mind the fading to bronze/copper colour

If you like the look of the Euro Impulse knob you might also consider the ECS knobs. Here's mine. Still looks like the day it was installed. They have an option without the leather surround and different color base rings I think.

Didn’t like the shape. I didn’t know I had a preference but all my manual cars have had a more ball type knob which I prefer. I find the OEM VW one to be very comfortable so I think I’ll just keep it. It did get very cold which was a little annoying but if I liked the feel I would have dealt with it.

I wanted to get a knob for my auto but after reading some reviews and checking the prices... changed my mind. Lol... Maybe later

You look at what folks are doing in Resto Mods, using period materials and fun cloth inserts that are purpose built and tested on interiors like the stuff from Singer & Icon. I'd love to have the option to personalize with something that suits the heritage of the brand and honours my taste. Thanks for sharing!!!

I picked up some aluminum Passat knuckles/spindles for the current car. I discovered not all salvage yards use the oem part numbers. I put those in first and got about 6 results. Tried again with various wording and found a bunch more, some at half the price. Although Passat parts stop fitting at 2010, I learned the CC has the same ones to 2017. Got mine for $36 shipped each, killer deal.
