Looks nice, but...assuming you don't swap shifters often...spend some extra money and get one from Whalen Shift Machine. Whalen does fantastic custom engraving and produces a first-rate product. He offers tons of options from brushed to polished SS (or a combo), inlays, engraving of your own design, etc. One of my favorite mods/upgrades. More expensive than the Cravenspeed but worth every penny.

MINI shift ***** from Whalen

These all look like they'd be hand burners on hot days. Leather wrapping goes a long way in the summer.

I have a Whalen made from delrin. It has the Mini emblem engraved with shift pattern in the center of the emblem. I am very happy with it.

I had a Whalen on my '03 MCS and loved it. The Craven link near the top of the thread has a great little video on removing the stock MINI shift ****.
