this happened to my friends surf when he imported it, till now he can't find an original gear knob for it.
BTW did anyone else notice that all the wood panels etc are different colours in this car?
@riz_
hopefully it won't since people here would rather NOT have airbags and would rather have a sunroof instead,.. LOL! i recall in 96 there was a HUGE epedemic in mainland europe with the 3 series and golf, everyone was losing their airbags.
