Shift **** Shopping?

I have an 03' MCS i recently put a Megan Racing short throw in her and have been using the stock shift **** for a while now. I think its time for something new. I would really like a white one that would either thread on to my megan racing shaft or one that clips in like the stock one does. Either will work with my shifter. Its nearly impossible to find a good look shift ****. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I saw the whalen but they only have a 4 to choose from and none of them come in white. I was looking at the TWM M1 Abrams shifter.http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/shiftkn...ift-*****.html

I would call Doug, he can generally get other ***** as well. Worth asking...

+1
Give Doug a call or drop him an email.
He does custom work too.
Getting a Whalen shift **** is one of the very best things I've done for my MINI.
It's the weight and how it feels every time you shift.
