Default Semi-interesting fact regarding Tip Shift *****.

I had my 99.5 A4 Avant Tip shift **** replaced today by my body shop since there was a big scratch on the chrome shift ****.

"So what?" you say.

Well, the new **** is not leather, it's textured plastic BUT it's softer than the one that came with the car and the overall size of the shifter is smaller and fits in my hand better when shifting in Tip mode.

A more ergo Tip Shifter, I like it!

Default No pics yet. Body shop provided the ****.

Somehow the stock shift button was scratched so they ordered me a new one (Audi OEM). The new shifter doesn't look quite as classy, but it's easier on my hand and it's not slippery the way the leather was.
