Installed my kit today, DIY was a great help, used dental floss to get the DCT sticker off, thanks for the tip on using thread or similar.
Anyone else have the issue of the DCT sticker not sitting quite as nice and flush on the c/f knob as the oem one. Mine appears to sit up slightly higher on one side than the other, as if the cut out is just fractionally too small, no biggie though, still love it over the factory trim. |

Isn't there a 'non-alcantara' version of the piece that goes around the shift knob? I thought I had it bookmarked but can't seem to find it now

Another shout for dental floss - tried this with various pry tools and got nowhere except stabbing myself quite deeply in my hand

Mine seems to fit perfectly, and color match seems fine. The door panels may seem darker because they’re in the shade? How’s it look compared to the handbrake boot?

Sure. I posted this on another thread.
I checked my car just now and yours may have a slightly bigger gap than mine. I could maybe slip the corner of a playing card in mine, but not a lot more. the color on my boot seems to match it too. The doors do look darker, but I really think that's because they're in a darker area of the car.

I broke out the real camera and took a couple more. Sorry it took so long. Work sucks.

Guys: fantastic thread - thank you. 1 QQ: does the sticker actually stick back on or will i need to put some more adhesive tape to keep it there?

The kit comes with a new piece with tape pre-installed.

On trying to remove the brake handle: would it not be better to unclip the gaiter and remove it from the handle with the handle in-situ, then take a small pry tool to the clips that hold it on? Just forcing it off is going to break what would otherwise be a completely useable handle that you can either refit when selling the car, or stick on eBay.

Could the DCT Shift Surround piece be sold on its own?
