Pre Cat leven switches anyone?

[barreti]

Is there anyone in the east midlands-ish area with a pre cat who wants to meet and swap these window switches, which I believe have Leven surrounds, for their regular vanilla versions. They work properly but I just don't think they look right with the look I am trying to get for the car - which so far has involved swapping the leven vents back to original and replacing the grey stereo for that nice symetrical black one.

this is beginning to sound anal isn't it

email me if you are interested. First come, first served. (oh er matron!)

I don't mind swapping, but it would have to be by post as I am not in the midlands.
Otherwise, I assume you cannot just seperate the surrounds from the switches.

Original is always best - in the long run!

Ian, the alloy is just a trim surround, you may find they can be eased off if they haven't been glued on with super-glue! p.s. Above all you need to get rid of that gear knob... why on earth would anyone swap the beautiful spherical alloy ball of the original?

I think the surrounds are superglued on Rich. Well, I can't prize the little buggers off at any rate.

Actually, I swapped that gearknob
I still have the original here on my office desk - albeit the gear position marker is missing, but
a) it was red hot in summer and freezing in winter
b) I've got boney hands and it bruised the palm of my left hand after a days driving.
So, much as I love originality, I swapped it and that one is much more comfortable.
