CHROME GEAR KNOB - Mini Mania

Do any members have this gear knob from Mini Mania



CHROME GEAR KNOB

Wife doesn't like the cooper one - hurts her hand - would like to see the mini mania installed to see how it looks

Thanks in advance

have you considered the official Mini gear knob accessories- they do a chrome version and a leather version...I agree the factory knob is not ergonomically optimised

You could always go for a Whalen? There's a gallery of custom designs on here and a linky (as they are site sponsors)

Thanks Simz - wifey found it online and likes it - I've already tried to direct her to the official Mini parts but of course I have no influence

I really think the Whalen is worth the money. Nice weight, nice feel, and it's a specialist product from a specialist producer.

Love our "MINI2" Shift Machine.
