Just had to have this knob and getting #1 is very cool. The pics do not do this "art-on-knob" any justice. WOW! Very Happy. Doug is the MAN! Mine is bead blasted. After a drive tonight I discovered that the bead blast is easy to grip then my old polished and brushed finish. Plus it looked great in the dash light of night (pic below)

If we had bought an 09 then I would be up for #3! But Daphne really wants a custom version.

Can you change the "knob" on an automatic in a Classic?

My Bad, I thought you might have had a newer MINI. Oh well, the knob would make a nice paper weight.
