That, and a leather boot is nicer looking then a plastic plate telling you where drive and park are.

Isn't it possible to get that plastic rod replaced instead of abusing it? That's the only part that prevents me from considering this mod :-(

Did you just use masking tape to tape off the chrome inside the filler before painting?

Hey, starting a car engine by turning a crank or pushing the car down a hill and then engaging the clutch is also more involved. But, you don't see many folks who still prefer that!

It's all about personal preference. As a case in point, I have a blast shifting the S-Tronic as I believe it's quicker and gives me more control than a manual! Manuals are so...20th century anyway!
