There are loads of chrome trims around. I've seen switch surrounds, radio surrounds and even cup holder surrounds. I suppose it's all personal preference.

That's quite nice! Is it a hard/expensive job to change rear windows to electric?

Not too bad just the cost involved in getting all the parts.

They also do them for the steering wheel switches,

There is some info here http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-Manu...conversion and there is also another link to another thread in there.

I was gonna do this for Lewis but swapped cars so a how-tos not been done yet.

You will need to request a VCI also once it's all fitted.

I have got a set which i havent used yet. I would'nt get them to be honest as they look cheap and have a small piece of double sided tape to stick them down. They will come off easily.

Waste of time. Can you send a picture of them if you like

They are actually aluminium.

You can buy the set off me if you still want.

PM me if interested

They should stick with the 3m but you will have to use cleaning wipes to get them clean and free of any dirt or cleaning product residue

That actually looks decent. Better than what I thought.

I had them sent to me in error so didnt bother putting them on.

Glad you liked them
