I love the dash in my S1 (full magnolia hide with black trim), but the clock and heater controls bezel look really naff.
I have been thinking of making a new bezel out of anodised aluminium or even carbon fibre complete with analogue clock and new heater control knobs.

Has anyone done a similar upgrade to an S1? Any ideas for sourcing or making decent (dare I say it) black knobs?

snap....

I have changed most of my rocker switches to chrome knobs...
but after looking at the heater control I believe the knobs are 1 piece.. ie non-removable knobs.

This you prob have to take the heater control out to do anything... which prob involves disconnecting the linkages...urgg

I may have ago anyway because the backing plate to the heater controls is looking naff.

I think most people send the dials off to have the bezels changed proffesionally.... but if you can make them send me some....go on.. you know you want to!!!

You could try europa spares, they supply lots of bits and pieces for kit cars.
