So far everyone who has my shifter who has had a Jaguar has said" Why doesn't every fully loaded version of Jag not come with one of these like all the other interior trim is"? They are right, If you buy a base model or similiar the factory knob is ok, but if you buy a R or a R-S , Supersport this should be standard to seperate the rest of the models like other options do.
Edobernig: Do you have a link where others could buy this "TOPPER" for the knob?

Its a metal key fob. Chrome plated brass with a enamel inlaid Growler. I ordered a wire mesh grill from Mina Gallery for my '04 XJ VDP (post pic.s on XJ 350 page) and there was this key fob added to the order today. I carefully filed off the ring applied some mounting tape and voila it looks seriously factory.

For those who where interested, The Shifter knob is ready for sale by Mina. Christ just drop me a email and told me that he should have it up on their web site soon, along with a few other upgraded items like the Black Grill and the eye lids . The two pic's he sent was of the growler and the mina emblem for the shifter knob. I think this should be a nice little christmas, wish list item.

This isn't a one upper. You really motivated the old fire chief to upgrade the Rotary Shifter with a Growler and viola here it is on the SC. I really looks great against the Piano Black Interior. Cost $0.

So cool. It really looks factory. It's so simple it was silly. What do you think?

The new Mina Growler looks the same as my key fob. However the side profile of what I did is heavier. Actually I like the slight raised look when its retracted. I could also get a closer fit using a thinner double-backed foam mounting tape. Either way it looks classy and factory to the untrained eye.
That and my XF metal pedals really make the interior.![](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/members/edobernig-107535-albums-pedals-valve-stem-caps-4349-picture-aluminum-xf-ingraved-pedals-12550t.jpg)
I would highly recommend the growler on the shifter. So simple an old fire chief can do it.

Thanks! I'm definitely getting this. Must have mod for me. Looks very classy and ads to the interior. I'm going to replaced the rotary switch with the emblem already on it. (pic posted in Redjaguar post above)
This is one cool MOD that I think even the designer for the XF would applaud. Good work!
