I think that one was done by the German chap who paints the switches. I believe Juergen knows who it is.

Never seen of that before, must of been posted when i was away

Well it's a left hand drive car so you must be right (for once ken)

Here is a few more from another German.
These must be painted:

Of course you can use "wood effect film" like Foliatec, like I did with my RR Classic gear stick, you never would know that it was only a film:

I used the WDC kit on mine and I was very pleased with it. Although I must say that the painted switches look very good. I followed Christoper's lead and added chrome surrounds on the window switches:

Tim, have you thought about also putting the chrome strip round the 4-way flasher/door lock walnut trim?

What was the technique in getting the chrome strip about the window switch panels that Christopher did ? And/Or what was the source of the chrome Strip ?

Also it would be nice to see the walnut on the Steering wheel Radio and Cruise Control switches....is this something that anyone has done ? If so any photies

The Chrome Trim is available from Halfords then its just careful cutting and fitting.

The Walnut Company do Basic Radio Surrounds and the 4:3 Hi Line system and I currently have them attempting the 16:9 screen after sending detailed drawings and Photos.

The switch Panels can be purchased from Les at SMC Trading and XPart or Rimmers in Colour required.

Not seen the steering wheel done and no known suppliers,
so it looks like a Fablon attempt yourself for that.

I hope that helps.

I hadn't - I have some of the chrome strip left over so I might try it.
