Is this a genuine Mulliner gear-****?

This guy from Israel is selling Mulliner **** at a very low price:

However, his **** doesn't seem to have the stitches like this one:

Is it a fake one or just different design?

First is mulliner version. Second one never seen as none come with stitching, possibly redone by owner.

Thanks guys. I feel like I'm spending money on such frivolous thing since it is just a gear ****, and the old one works just fine. Please convince me to buy it

Actually an exclusive Mulsanne gear selector which also fits the GT/ GTC, etc.

Introduced on the 2013 Mulsanne Driving edition.

Sounds like the cheaper selector in red is a good fit for you. Don't forget to post pics....

Thanks blackgtc. I just pulled the trigger on a black one for $420 shipped. This seems like a nice price if it is genuine OEM part. I will post some pics as soon as I received the item.

I also bought 4 valve caps today. My car is close to perfect now besides few blemishes. Very psycched

Nice super ocean Sanibel, I am actively looking for the Bentley for Breitling and just saw the new ad with David Beckham for the B06 double spread in recent Robb Report. Anyhow just got my Mulliner **** and hands down the most beautiful compliment to that already stunning interior. Easy as pie to install and only took around 5 minutes. Someone on the forum jokingly said something along the lines of watch out when pulling the old **** up and off you dont go through the headliner and oddly enough I had to pull so hard I almost punched myself in the face.

I might install it again and do a youtube video as well.

I got it from the fellow in Israel and not only it is great, but he shipped practically overnight to the US. The quality and price were unbeatable. Snap to install also, with the forum's instructions!

I did. I also purchased the jewel gas cap in eBay. The fellow in Israel also had the gas cap, but only in matte color. I have purchased the wool mats from flying spares at a great price

And while you're doing it, may as well get the Bentley Self Leveling Wheel Badge 'B' centers for the rims.

nrick is on a distinguished road
I have looked at the fuel caps on Ebay, and then checked the price onhttp://bentleyconversions.co.uk/accessories/bentley-fuel-cap-upgrade/ didn't seem much in it, so I might order from there unless a cheap one turns up.

I did the mulliner gear **** a few weeks ago, and that is fantastic!

Must get my valve caps though
