Default New short shift doesn't fit - any ideas?

Hi guys,

I bought a short shifter from Bren at apex performance and it was only today that I had chance to fit it. I fitted it but the gear change linkage rod hits the body work. I removed the plate and was ready to cut the section out as I knew they would hit but its hitting the actual car body. It wouldnt even into gear properly so had to remove it and refit the stock one.

Has anyone had this before and what was the solution? Its a 2002 bugeye.

Are there any other short shifters that I could get that someone has definitely managed to fit properly?

This is the link to the original one I bought to show you what it looks like.

Any help would be much appreciated.
