« on: 18 September 2012, 12:47 »
well ive just won a set of net optics on the bay that have been sanded to brushed alloy R32 style ,so obviously im now getting rid of all my wooden trim&the gear knob.
my question beeing what knob should i get????
ive seen the black leather ones on the bay which look fine but my interior is cream??
what about some sort of shiny metal 1 to try march the brushed alloy bits??

i'm putting the above together when i pull up the center console and get everything sprayed glossy black and then wrapped in silver carbon wrap so that all the pockets are black and all the other surfaces are silver, i'll have to put a picture up when its done as i can explain it too well

according to the supplier it will and comes with the 6 speed or 5 speed option however i'm gonna get a duplicate made up as i want to drill the through the middle and put in a LED so it lights up the numbers and guide lines when the lights are switched on
