■ Short shifter
Seen as a top mod by Golf R32 aficionados, this little device will reduce gear throw by as much as 40%, allowing you to go through the gears at a faster rate for brisker acceleration and quicker downshifts. It's easy to install as long as you readjust the linkage cables so there's no extra stress. This durable steel item from Gravity Performance is £49.99.
