Shift **** Cap/Insert

Hi everyone,

I bought an '02 MCS that I really love this past summer. I have a 15% reduction pulley and intake on it and boy is it hard to not keep my foot down to hear that motor sing!
So my shift **** cap (the part that shows the gears) is turning quite yellow and I was wondering if there was an OEM (or at least looks like OEM) replacement. I have done searches and looked for the product online but to no avail. I can only find union jack or checkered ones like this -- http://new.minimania.com/part/NMI250...52-53-Cooper-S I'd prefer not to buy a whole new shifter because it's just a small piece of paper/plastic that is yellowing on top of it.

Thanks and happy holidays!

Thanks for the reply. It looks like that link is for a brand new shift ****, which is $48.95 for the R53 **** before shipping. That's a bit steep to just replace a yellowing cap.
