Know what you mean - my 3 kilo cat has my 25 kilo OCD (obsessive collie dog) completely terrified. Should I get her registered too?

Not sure I share your 'concern' here.
The only time I can imagine actually looking at those switches, would be after hitting a tree whilst leaning forward to pick something off the floor, and therefore finding my head jammed into that little space.

Never had a passenger yet that could find them, never mind make a comment on the aesthetics biggrin

And yet, I would bet that somewhere, someone has had them gold plated, or sprayed in reflex paint to match the car.

Point well made and very much agreed - however, I wasn't referring to TVR being the money pinchers - We all know TVR's are a glued up parts bin getmecoat so the Vauxhall window switches merely add character and charm, something the Vauxhalls didn't have in abundance as they shared many of the same bits as their siblings which, for a big company like Vauxhall/GM, seems a shame - though I believe all manufacturers share components across most models.
