Default Almost Done Interior

My 2005 interior has slooowly been evolving with a part here and a part there. Here some leather, there some leather. The wife gave me my father's day gift today, a new gear shift **** for the ugly A4. Take a look. I am very pleased.

Nice, how does the shift handle work? Push down?
Where did you get it?
Thanks,

Thanks,
It came in two parts, both from CF vendor Southern Car Parts. The adapter and a custom ****. Took all of 10 minutes to install.

You push down on the whole thing. I optioned the **** with a thumb indent on top to make it even more intuitive to push down.

Works like a charm.

Yea I saw them too. You should see the wife's side. Even worse.

The car is cleaned and polished regularly but the interior is due for a major detail.

Hard to believe I get that many marks on a weekend car.

Yes center console and leather pieces from Douth South Vettes. They do great work.

Actually no. It is about a half inch taller than stock. However, with the aftermarket padded armrest center console it is perfect for me.
