Has anyone found suitable alternative replacements for the rubberised air con/heater/blower knobs normally hidden away under the dash? I'm in the process of redoing my interior and would like something a bit more pleasing to the eye.

I thought the topic was going to be something rude about the factory!

AB can do you nice replacements.

laughlaughlaugh as if I would........

When I spoke to AB a while back they were reluctant to make any as they told me the knobs would work out really expensive, was advised to look at RS Comp as they have some in their catalogue, but I haven't found any that are any good.

Where can these knobs be found? Also, how does one go about getting a small panel like your etched/painted with the HVAC graphics? That's something I've always wanted to add to mine. Photo to follow...
Thx,

... and where can these be found? I've looked and tried a number of knob sets but have never found anything that visually suitable.
