Early DB9/V8V seat switches chrome covers

I fitted those Freelander II matt chrome covers on my seats switches

Nice upgrade - where did you source them as want to do the same.

Thanks

How do you get the old switches off? Do they just pull out? I think the question has been asked here but in previous posts people were unsure if pulling off the switch would break something.

I think it's literally a cover.

They look nice, but they're still plastic.

Do you have a nicer alternative?

A couple of years ago, George got everyone here excited about the possibility of making a set of replacement switch buttons out of CNCd aluminum. Many people signed up to show interest and then, nothing. Maybe now that you have sourced a good set of parts (albeit plastic), someone can use them as a template to make metal set instead? George? Tony? Anyone?

As for me, I converted a set of the OEM Rapide alloy switches so they would work on my Vantage, but I haven't gotten around to installing them yet because replacing the switches involves removing, not only the center console, but most of the dash and I haven't had the time.

I don’t suppose anyone has seen these covers again. I would love to upgrade my v8v seat adjuster switches. Dislike the black plastic

Success. Still on eBay hopefully the same size. Worth a gamble for £23.

Looks like these became impossible to be found.
At least on aliexpress and ebay.
