We have just added two amazing new shift knob designs to our options list together with some other options and upholsteries.

Based on the initial flat ball and cilinder shift knobs we have now added the GT1 and Piston design shift knobs.
These come with sleeves in the same style as our frame designs, but as always you can fully customize, so any combination is possible.

Also added is a medium weight for the shift knob core which sits around 250 gramms.
Because the weight is centered at the very top of the shaft you will take full advantage of the added weight.

(light (<100gr.) / medium(~250gr.) / heavy (>400gr.)

Also added: Anodized Black finish

And for those looking for something treuly spectacular we have also added the option of an ebony wood with aluminum inlay shift knob core.
This masterpiece is a real eye-catcher and feels just as good as it looks.

Not sure what you were expecting then Chris, for a custom made kit like this made from top materials? (just curious)
A standalone shift knob made from descent materials nicely upholstered go for 150-200, what we're offering is quiete a bit more especialy with all the custom options.
 
Anyone that pays over 200 quid for abit of alcantara and a geaknob is mad, i understand its custom etc, 100 quid fair enough but over 200 i think is taking the mick abit

Well sorry Chris, but you're being completely unrealistic then, have any idea what the standard shift knob in your car costs which is made from plastics?
For 100 quid you can buy a reasonable aftermarket shift knob, but definately not one made from descent materials/nicely upholstered that can live up to the standards of an Audi (A5)

Again, we're only talking about a standalone shift knob here, but honestly you're being unrealisticly in general.
I'd advice you to stick to the standard unit if a nice looking "shift knob" is not worth more to you then 100 quid and hope it never wears out.
 
Metal doesnt tend to wear out that easily, ive had countless metal shift knobs in a range of jap and other cars and theyve all been fine, i think its more that youre offering it to a5 owners that tend to have reasonable wallet sizes so youre taking advantage of that, in future as a buisness when someone says sorry its more than i can afford but very nice, dont give them a snotty reply about how its made, if they arent willing to spend that amount on something like that fine leave them to it rather than ranting about how good your stuff is, good day

Your first reply made it very clear what you were saying.
Sorry I cant afford that is a whole different story and wouldve resulted in a different reply from my side.
Yet I politely asked you what you were expecting and explaining what it is we're offering in case this maybe wasnt clear to you.
After which you label someone mad for paying a certain amount of money for something of which you appearantly dont have a clue about.
So dont blame me for biting back when youre saying Our pricing is unreasonable.
There goes a ton of manual labour into each kit, using machinery worth of hundreds of K's plus all the wear and maintanance costs.
That is what makes it this price, regardless of the type of car.
A similar kit for a 2004 ford focus costs exactly the same, if you wouldve taken the effort to have a look on our site you wouldve noticed.

Either way we better agree to disagree cause if youre gonna start comparing with a billet unit now, you really dont get it.
Your not putting Kia parts on your Audi either right?
Just like a Kia driver probably isnt going to put a 200 quid shift knob in his car, both are in a different league and therefor come with a different pricetag.

Just because we're a business doesn't mean we have to humbly respond to anything thrown at us, fairly or unfairly.
Yet I think I stayed quiete polite considering what you've put up without even substantiating it.
