What is this part called ... Shifter Surround?

[Fatherless One]

I've been looking all over the web but no luck, perhaps it's that I'm searching with the wrong description?

I need to know what this part is called.

Cheers in advance,
Alan.

Sometimes they are just called a trim and another term for it might be escutcheon I think.

[Fatherless One]

Cheers Dave, I'll give those terms a go.

This part is proving bloody elusive, I'll keep scouring eBay I suppose.

It's also known as the gear stick boot.

Cheers guys.

I assume you you mean the chrome piece.
I fixed one once on another car by peeling the chrome off and repainting satin black.
Came up good

I have always known it as the gear stick/ shifter boot.. check ebay.de im sure they are available to buy.

VW Gold Coast quoted $130.00 ex Germany, somebody is making some serious profit me thinks.

Thanks for the input lads.

hey mate, is that only the chrome piece they are charging that much? i have a gti dsg which the previous owner has ruined the gear stick
and marked it ... common problem with the rubberised plastic crap they coat it in.

this is where ford and holden at least do a good job where by their window controls and so forth dont peel...

ive had a bmw that done the same thing and now this vw....

[Fatherless One]

G'day mate,

Yeah they're charging that much, I hate feeling like I'm being ripped off.

I know what you mean about the crappy black paint too, my window,headlight and CD player switches and buttons are all showing poor wear.

All the mk5's I've seen have varying amounts of the same wear.

sorry to revive an old dead thread, but the chrome on my shifter is also bubbling up, anyone have a cheap fix to this? (ie; a carbon fibre wrap replacement etc.)
