This is a how to change the color of your window switch surround to a gloss black instead of a horrible grey

YOU WILL NEED:

1.WRAP (bubble free, bit more expensive but 100% better and still cheap) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190740632883

2. Wrap tool (would highly recommend this when doing ANY wrapping) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291099958969

3. Hairdryer CLICK HERE FOR BEST VERSION

1. To remove the window switch surrounds, gently pull up from the front in front of the door handle and unplug the plug

2. get your wrap and measure the square hold that you need to cut, mark this on the back white bit of the paper and cut out:

3. remove sticky backing, smooth out bubbles with wrap tool

4. use heat to get finally smooth, leave about 5mm excess, this will fold over and heat this bit to hold it all in place

IT WILL THEN LOOK LIKE THIS (pictures dont do it justice, will get some better pictures)
