Chrome Climatronic & Lightswitch Rings

Makefish · 21-12-2007, 17:36

I'm not normally one for styling mods but I did quite like the look of these so bought and fitted some. What do you think, like or no like?

dstev2000 · 21-12-2007, 19:02

They look OK on the silver trim, they might be a little too much on the standard black trim.

The chrome ring around the light switch looks very nice though

Octy-KUT · 21-12-2007, 19:03

I quite like them - where did you buy them?

KTP · 21-12-2007, 19:15

they look like they came standard, always a good thing in my eyes

Like. Where did you get them?

dstev2000 · 21-12-2007, 19:53

I know ebay do them as i've looked before but that's not so say that's where these ones came from

mattbeef · 21-12-2007, 19:57

They look good mate.
Enough to set its self off without being OTT

Johnwg · 21-12-2007, 20:15

They look good. My Dad got some chrome rings that actaully fit round the climate control dials for his Touran, and they look pretty smart as well.

marco2068 · 21-12-2007, 20:16

look good mate, they dont look out of place at all.

vimto2000 · 21-12-2007, 20:46

Is it me...but I can't see the pic?!?!

vimto2000 · 21-12-2007, 21:01

Scrap that....it was my 3G card, vodafone must be blocking photobucket!

That looks pretty smart! Where you get them from and how much???

Makefish · 21-12-2007, 23:27

They came from ebay for those that have asked although they aint cheap at £25 delivered for the set (inc. the light ring). They come supplied loose but fitting could'nt be easier, a small dab of super glue fixes them in place very nicely although the light ring is just a push fit

They seem to brighten the area up a bit, nice mod.

Tom_vRS · 22-12-2007, 00:55

Yep, nice little mod Steve.

Makefish · 22-12-2007, 00:56

Blimey, I've actually done something that others like!!!

bosnjo · 22-12-2007, 13:23

I have them on mine, on black trim. They look great.

woodenspatulas · 22-12-2007, 14:17

subtle and factory looking, nice mods!

the heater ones work well with the chrome thats already there too

Looks good - did you get stung for VAT & Duty on delivery ?

No, they come in a small padded packet so unlikely that Customs would be interested in it.

Thanks for the update - just ordered some, will brighten up the dash

cheezemonkhai · 22-12-2007, 21:47

Just chrome the viper stripes next

I like the light one, but couldn't justify £25 for them
