I personally like the first one better. However, the second one sure gives it a classic look.

To tell the truth, I like the leather one too. I've got the VE boot and **** on my car. I have the aluminum shift quadrant on top of the stock ****, that goes with my aluminum rings on the gauges.



Living in a HOT climate like Florida or Arizona like we do, would make the shifter too hot to touch.

I realize that you have the A4 and I have an MN6 - so it's slightly different applications. JMHO......

The question is - Do you like it? That's really the only opinion that counts!
