Lol at bending it and shortening it to get it to fit . [emoji12]

It's a plug and play unit. I think the only thing you (may) need to do is elongate one of the holes where it mounts but it's year dependant.
Cheers Dan, was gonna drop you a PM on this. Just gonna bend it to bring it closer to me as well, should be straight forward enough...

No worries brother. Yeah I would. Shortening the linkage causes all kinds of interference issues with the subframe and exhaust (been there, done that).
You might struggle with bending it nicely, I used a hydraulic press to do mine
Yeah I'll get the fitter in work to do it in our hydraulic press, 45 degree(ish)? Also do you reckon this will tighten things up a little?

I have one of those in my box , these are ok , but avoid quick and abrupt gear changes as the throw is shorter and the syncro's will take a beating more so as such . I've been gentle with mine and all is good so far .
Had it in for about 6 years now .
How would i extend the bottom of it mate?

Why would you need to extend the bottom?
No idea, just going of what @MartinR said above?

I had to extend mine, but only cuz I hybridised mine using Sceninc frame with a B&M style metal stick.

Right so fitted this over the weekend, pretty simple to do really. Ash tray out, gear gator up over the gear stick, gear surround off, remove heat shield clips under the car and unclamp the cat (decat in my case) joined to the cat-back and pull down slightly, undo the 4 nuts holding the surround and 1 nut through the linkage rod, pull out through the bottom of the car, reverse to fit the scenic shifter.

And.....like it?
Sorry yeah, feels much more comfortable and I didn't even need to bend it towards me, its now little finger to thumb hand span away from the wheel which is perfect for me.

Is your decat a sleeve type or is it flanged?
If sleeve did you have to remove it completely or just pull it down enough to wiggle the shifter out?
My decat is flanged mate, and it literally needs pulling down an inch or so to pull/push the gear surround out/in.
