Guys I've got the itch to do a few more mods in the turbo.

I blame ade!! I looked on the db carbon website and they do a lovely selector! I've never liked my selector!

Anyone changed there's? Any pictures of non standard?

Also I'm not s massive fan of loads of carbon but does small amounts work?

Any pics of your interior :thumb:

Damn you ade!
 
On a similar vein I've always wondered if the PDK shifter can be adapted for the tip? :chin:

I suspect not but the PDK is just a better looking mechanism to my eyes :dont know:
 
Had Linus cover the tip surround in leather with the silver French stitching at the same time as getting the centre console painted in body colour pictures on the wicked coatings thread just lifts the interior

Linus as done a few things for me including the tip surround I can't believe I didn't get my knob done at the same time :floor:

Glad Ade, is now getting the blame for making guys spend their hard earned makes a change its usually me :floor: :thumb:
 
sorry think must have been at cross purposes - I wouldn't let Linus near my knob it was just the tip. surround (but he's already done that for you)

Agree with that, the tip selector looks dated.
I've been looking into this, I bought a PDK selector, a PDK surround & a spare tip selector, to do that exact mod.
While I haven't sat down and dedicated some time to actually doing this, there are a couple of things that I saw straight off the bat.
First, the throw on the PDK selector is less than that of the tip, so the PDK surround may not work.
Second the PDK selector is held in place in a completely different way to the tip, I've got a 3D printer and may be able to knock something up to make it fit, but with kids, life etc I haven't found the time to see what I could do!
