Sorry but I'm so excited..! Just found out B&M do a quick-shift kit for the 6n2 and it's only £130. Has any one got one fitted? if so are they any good?

A quick-shift reduce the amount of throw of the gear stick
allowing quicker gear changes.

All that does is make the stem shorter.

A genuine "quick shift" kit moves the actual pivot point which reduces the actual throw of the gear shift.

I'm doing them for £120 in the thread redline gave a link to.... some modifications are needed to fit this to the polo, which can be found in the thread.

I've got 8 left, not sure if I'll be able to get any more after that as i believe they're a discontinued line so I'd hurry if you don't want to miss out on one.
