I'm sure British Autowood makes one. Or can.

That's the older-style "R" logo, and it's so small in the topper. I'd love to see one that matches what's on my rig ('11 XFR). They changed the logo again on the '12+ models to more of a neon type color scheme, which I really don't like as much as the previous versions (and I'm not even biased). But, I was "forced" to put the '12+ "R" logo onto the grille of my car, as Jaguar didn't have a grille option for my version. Nobody would probably ever notice the difference unless they were a Jag aficionado, but it's still always bothered me...

I have to buy a driver since I don't have the size the screw needs for removal. Anyone know the size required?

The aluminium disc is just glued on there, and you can remove it (pick it off) using something very fine like an eyeglass screwdriver, or if worried about the edge just drill a small hole and pry it off that way.

Great job! Now if I could afford the R, then I could afford the shifter!

I would be all over this if

1. The R logo was accurate. it doesn't look right and doesn't have the right proportions.

2. If you can give it that monochrome machined in look like on the passenger side dash....
