I reserected this thread to show someone pictures of the mod as I couldn't figure out how to show the link in his original thread. :D
Thanks. Was me. Hope to order one tomorrow.

Does the old shift gaitor just pull off the console. Or are there hidden clips? Mine seems pretty tight, and I don't want to break anything

Should have paid the extra and got the one which lights up in red, white and blue and plays the National Anthem ... :lol: ... trouble is it would probably play the German National Anthem!
