   i cant decide which type to go with, what do you think?
   
   the choices i've got it down to are...
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   and here is my interior...
   
   
   
   
   
   i like the silver gear nob, but i've got silver at the moment. its started to go dull and i dont want this to do the same.
   
   the carbon one is quite smart, but i dont want it to end up getting scratched and looking tatty.
   
   and i'm starting to warm to the airmetal type.
   
   i know its only a gear nob, but it has to look right! so what do you guys think?
   
   cheers, matt

   Carbon one mate, as your car is all stripped out. Love your car too mate by the way, impressive for a 1.1 and wouldnt mind doing mine like that.

   I like them al but really you want a rally slag style one to match your seats. What about something like the richbrook touring?
   
   I have one of these and it looks and feels great with a short shifter!

   cheers flee.
   
   yeh 180, i'd looked at one of those. (the long shaft type yeh?) i know how you mean it might suit the car a bit better and i do like them, i just think the momo's above would be comfier to hold?!

    thanks for the input guys. i think thats the silver one out of the running then.
    i'm really starting to warm to the air metal one now (the last one).
    
    saxo dan, they are the only interior pics i have at the moment. i'll try and get some more soon though. dont really fancy a vt* kit on it, i like it just how it is to be honest.
    plus if i ever go ahead with the conversion, it keeps it a bit of a sleeper!

    Carbon one for me mate. Would compliment the interior best imo.

    appreciate the input guys, thanks.
    
    the carbon one is looking like the chosen one at the moment. unless you think this could be a contender. (is this the type you mean 180?)
    i'm really undecided with this!

    That's the one mate! I like it but each to their own I suppose! Got to agree with you on the comfort side of things, momo will be better. And the richbrook one is bloody cold to touch on those wintery mornings!
