MikeVR6 0 Posted February 17, 2005 Spotted these while trawling through the Vortex classifieds section. Clicky Available in the following combinations of illumination and stitching... Red 5 spd Black/stitch for Corrado Blue 5 spd Black/stitch for Corrado Green 5 spd Black/stitch for Corrado Green 5 spd w/Red stitch for Corrado Red 5 spd w/Red stitch for Corrado With every shift knob you get a 2 (two) year warranty on electric parts and 1 (one) year on the rest. However, you can't abuse the knob and ask for a new one. The warranty on electric parts is obvious (if the bulb burns out within 2 years), and warranty on the rest is for things like the chrome ring around the boot or on the top getting loose. I've just ordered one. Came to £54 including shipping to the UK. Fitting instructions can be found here.. http://bolsen.homeip.net/knobinstall.html And here.. http://vwroadtrip.peterbeers.n...l.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted February 17, 2005 They look pretty cool... would like to see some pics of it fitted once you get it 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 17, 2005 Yeah looks good. I was trying to make my own illuminated knob but gave up. Is it a generic fitment then because there wasn't a car selection drop down? Black stitching with green light for me.... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted February 18, 2005 I want to see one of these once it's fitted - just to make sure it doesn't look chav :wink: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Looks like I'm the guinea pig then! :) I'll post up pictures once it's fitted. Any Ideas in where I can take a feed for the illumination from? Preferably something that only comes on with the headlights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeVR6 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Bit wary of fiddling with such things after this happened! :lol: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... 116#219116 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted February 18, 2005 fag lighter illumination: brown = earth grey with blue tracer = lighting circuit... Patience is a vitue... (or something like that anyway, I could never be bothered to listen to the rest of it... ;) ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LarryDuff 0 Posted February 18, 2005 There's a pdf fitting guide on the Reiger website if that's any help. Suggests using the ciggie light feed as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeVR6 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Think you'll beat me to fitting it too Henny. Just too many things to do at the moment. Post up some pics once it's in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 1, 2005 yeah, but I've got to change all the switches and clocks to red to match it first! ;) :lol: Time to get busy methinks... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
146 Jockey 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Does it fit any corrado?. Mine was a 1991 16v. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Yeah it should fit any Corrado as the gearknobs are standard across the range. Henny Did you deliberately get one with red illumination? They do them with green too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
