Exclamation M6 looking console for A4.

Hey guys, i installed a B&M ratchet shifter in my 2002 Z28 a few weeks ago, i want a manual looking console in it now. I can tell the M6 console will sit to far forward for my set up (i have attached a picture). Does anybody know of a M6 looking console for an A4? or how to convert your A4 to look like the M6. I want the full M6 look because i want the park, reverse, etc part gone. Any help appreciated, thanks.

It's been done, ..., Search for shifter threads, or aftermarket shifters threads or something like that in the A4 forum & this appearance forum.
I don't remember for sure which forum they are in.

I doubt it would be hard to make one fit properly.

I believe all that it required is to trim either the rear or front of the boot area for the auto shifter. I looked into this quite a bit when I was on the fence about going to an auto set-up.

You pretty much have to eliminate the ashtray on the m6 console if you want to be able to shift into first. The m6 console will work fine if you keep it in drive, just won't be able to shift down. I have an m6 console that I just tried last week!

I was driving with an m6 console on my auto for a couple months until I swapped the a4 to m6.
