I thinks so too. I'm a bit worried about clearance but I'm going to get one I think.

New Summer knob fitted today replacing the leather one. Much tastier I reckon and also much lighter... so faster!

The part is a new (ish) Abarth accessory as the only option if you wanted to retrofit before was expensive as it involved tinkering around with linkages and stuff. This new easy swap part if £85. The swap took a careful 20 minutes. Just needed a bit of thread-lock, no. 10 socket and 8mm spanner.

Pah! A real man would have fitted it in the winter to feel the coldness of the knob not wait until the spring for the warm feeling  ;D

Looks good though Hippo :thumb:

Very shiny knob Hippo! You are going to need something to cover it in the winter or it will freeze its nuts.  :whistle:

Note: it was unintentional.

Very nice car, loving the changes.

Only criticism I have is the Abarth lettering on the side not quite looking right!

A graphic scheme like mine is always going to be 'brave'. It's copied from an AC car I like. It's never going to appeal to everyone. That's part of the charm for me.
