Well chuffed with how this gear k**b came out! Isn't she a beauty?!

My first 7 speed!

Smoked oak and ash, Four Four style, custom shape for a 991/992 with a satin finish.

Thanks to Paul for lending me the mechanism so I could get a photo of it fitted!

And a special thank you to Steele for taking his car a part and measuring it so I could get this right πŸ‘Š
