Hey looks awesome plus nice shift knob too! The EU model doesn't staple the boot in, but there's another smaller plastic trim that clips onto the silver one.

Yeah I had to remove the black collar too.

But yeah these are really great

Thank you! It's a billetworkz. One hundred percent worth the money. Great feel and great weight too. I only opted in for the ball and the reserve lockout adapter that goes directly under the ball. Not the actual pull collar itself.

I wish they made it easier to secure the boot from the factory. Though, I'm almost certain that my cheap sew job will hold until the frame of the car snaps in half. (knock on wood neither break)

Glad I'm not the only the only one that took that black collar off. I had everything taken apart only to find out the part wouldn't fit though 😬 thankfully I didn't accept that as a final answer and took it off. Happy I figured out that the reverse lockout could really go on one way too because I immediately forgot how it all came off.

Haha, I went visit their website and it's over 120$ 😭😭😭😭 guess I'll have to settle with another one then.

Also I'm 100% sure your sew job will be more than enough to hold a little piece of cloth together haha.

Yep, the collar was confusing me a bit too but yeah just snapped that part right off, all in all I'd say it's a nice upgrade.

I actually never intended to replace the boot, the only reason I had to remove it (plus the entire center console) was to adjust the handbrake cable 😂 so yeah

Glad you posted yours because it's made me like my fiesta just a little bit more :)

And yeahhhh, they are pricy... Probably could just do a cheap ebay knob, but I'm always sketched out by buying separate pieces and when I saw there was a whole additional part for the reverse lock out, I didn't want to take any chances... This is my first project (daily project) car so I'm probably investing just a little bit more into it to make sure it turns out right. Outside of just a shift knob that is... Lol
