Default It's the right curvature. Do they look to be the same size?

I know how the stock one comes apart. I bet that silver ring takes the whole top off.<ul><li><a href="http://georgeryon.com/audi/images/****/">http://georgeryon.com/audi/images/****/</a></li></ul>

I had to remove the inner piece that sat on the silver bezel. It just popped out relatively easily. THANKS DUAN! =) The acrylic shift pattern on the stock A4 **** has a tab that I had to grind down(GOoooooooooo Dremellllllllllll!) and then I used spray paint(black) to cover the exposed plastic. Put some CA(super glue) and glued the stock shift pattern onto the bezel, all done =)

Default forgot to add, before gluing the A4 shift pattern piece down onto

the bezel, you need to cut(with dremel or something else) the two tabs that come up from the ****.
