Default Auto. Shift *****

Those of you with A4's that have replaced your shift **** for a different look, please post pics. I am interested in doing so and only see a few options, but they never show pics of them installed. And if anyone has installed that part that lets you put on a standard ball type **** please post pics or leave input on the outcome of the install, I like the idea, but it just seems like the shifter would be riding high after that was installed.

Thanks for any input. My birthday is coming up and I need to get my mod ducks in a row.

Here's mine - it's an old pix but I still have this ****. Brushed Alum, I like it. Install took all of 30 seconds.

Grumpy, how is your's attached to function? Is it that spring loaded piece that alot of sites sell which allow you to use any standard **** for the auto shifter? How do you like it?

Thanks.

"A fair cop" means (in cockney slang) that I have been caught red handed , totally fair and square with my "hand in the cookie jar". How's that for an Americanism?

Well... biscuit and cookie are 2 different things, depending on your cultural reference. For example, a biscuit is cheesecake in Russia (go figure), and a cookie does not exist in England (also go figure)
