You can get aftermarket replacements for the factory item- same shape and function but come in carbon fibre, wood grain and I think certain colours.

Not sure how you'd go putting a later model job on because I believe they function differently- maybe someone knows a way of modding them?

So long as it's secure and fully functional without altering the safety aspects of the shifting pattern (such as you still need to have to push the button to get into and out of "P"), there's nothing that states it's ILLEGAL to fit an aftermarket handle.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that MILD50 was right, there are two different types of 'action' to change gears, one pushes a locking shaft when you push the button, and one pulls the locking shaft when you push the button.

I believe that it's possible to modify them, but then you start getting into some grey legal areas, you'd be better off just getting one that's going to work straight off the shelf.
