With spring nearly here, I decided to bling up the window switches and mirror adjuster with a subtle touch of chrome.
Hopefully they'll be slightly easier to see in the dark too.

Houndie, those Chrome Edges look like the end of a Women's Finger Nail . Where did you get these from the PRC, because they do look different - Dave

Correct Dave, via our old friend AliExpress.

(8-piece, includes mirror joystick)
However they've improved the design since I bought them (in January) and are less fiddly to put on! Newer version -

(two prices, A is switches only, B is 8-piece)
Meanwhile I'm staking my claim as the first to fit 'em!

Received the box of switch blings. But puzzled as to which bit fits which switch. There seem to be pairs but I'm not clear which is which. Any help please.?

There are two pairs, then three identical.
Concave pair goes on master switch rear window switches. Straight edges go to the centre.
Convex pair goes on master switch front window switches.
Remaining three go on the other three window switches on the car.
My pics show exactly where they fit.

Another picture:
Most welcome!
I removed each switch set to make installation easier. Just used a plastic blade to pop the trim that carries each switch out of the armrest, then removed cable connector and prised the switch out of the trim (four "legs" secure each switch). Repeat for each door. (you don't have to remove door pull cover or handle cover as shown in pics)
