Oh also does the new knob need to have a button on it? I have a metal skull head that hasn't got a button is there any way that would fit?

I don't think so, thats more than likely a manual gear knob, but I could be wrong

Needs a button. If it has no button, it may act as always pressed which means its easy to move and you could find yourself flicking it into neutral or something while driving, or it may act as theres no button at all. Depends on how far down the gear shift shaft it sits.

Another question? I'm looking into getting a rim and tyre package, but all the websites I've looked up don't have FTO in there options for when u select your make and model!!! Does the FTO have the same offset as any other car? That way I can see what my options are for styles ect... Thanks for all the help :)

No worries. Sorry, I know it was a fair lot of information to sift through, I just found it really late at night so I couldnt decode it for you :lol:
