hmmm headlight, mirror switch, window switches, sunroof switch.... :rolleyes:    any switches will be fine as it saves me bodging them!! My sterio is blue faced with orange buttons, so my idea is orange seat dials and blue switches.. i have some led bulbs for the cig lighter and heater panel to fit...gonna try them and see (worth trying for £3)

well i can easy help out, the only one u will have a prob with is the headlight switch, to get it blue u have to remove the green paint, not easy and the green still shows, its quite a involved job, iv done it so i know,  i guarentee those in germany wont look as good as they do in the pic,

your best getting the 3.5 cab switch for this one but its expensive and its red of course not blue

i do come around your way still yes, not so oftern lately as my weekends have been pretty mad

if we are doing some switch meet, it would need to be pretty soon a sim getting ready to hopefully do the engine swap at some point so alot of my (very rare) free time will be going into that and i have a whole host of events coming up im working on which again takes a big wedge of time up

i can do the switch's easy tho.. its not hard, can be a fiddle but thats it, theirs a few tricks on a few of the switches that can vary from early and late spec cars... but iv done them both so i know hte crack

late type (3 button) sunroof switch used special leds, hard to come by but i can get them, and if anyone would need the late type maf/mileage screens doing like my aniversary ones are, well that is a very involved job but do able
