6r and 6c GTI Gear Stick Gaiter Identical?

[Gee40]

Does anyone know if the gear stick gaiters on the above are identical.

The current plastic gaiter on my wife 2016 6c GTI is starting to look tatty and I want to replace it with a new leather item.

I've found one on ebay that states it fits all 6r Polos 2009-2013 and one on Amazon that states it fits all Polos 2009-2016. The easy option would be to buy the Amazon item, however it costs £15 more. Not a massive issue but I don't want to spend an extra £15 unnecessarily as the descriptions are virtually identical except for the compatibility discrepancy

Thanks

Rotten luck if VW have been fitting these cars with plastic/leatherette gaitors, I bought a new soft leather gaitor to replace the "plastic" gaitor on my wife's 2002 VW Polo 1.4 SE - then discovered that the original one was also leather, but not very supply leather - oh well! I applied lots of "leather care products" and that softened it, but too late.

Sadly its definitely plastic as the top layer has started to crack around the collar and reveal the fine mesh backing underneath. Its a really same as VW has not gone cheap on the steering wheel as the leather used on that is beautifully soft and would look out of place in a car costing 3 times as much. Just got to find out whether the gaiter remained unchanged when the car was facelifted from 6r to 6c. If so I could order the cheaper ebay item with confidence
