Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
I installed mine today. Instead of the screw clips, I mounted mine on top of the old piece. After trimming off the top of the old one (you can see where it was broken), I put the new unit on top of the old, and then installed both into the steering column surround. I put the screw of the bottom left in first, and then the bottom right. Once that was done I then put the whole surround back in.
It looks fantastic! Thanks demetk-much improved over the factory piece. (edited to add that I turned my foglight switch back to the correct side up-Laphroaig has that effect sometimes)
What I was living with-entirely annoying and you can see the broken upper left corner.
The old piece after trimming off the top with a mini hacksaw.
Finally! Much improved over the factory component!

Whoah! I'm behind the times; just realized you're shipping the painted/powdercoated versions. I just sent payment for mine. Thanks!
Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
Got mine today. Very nice. I was going to ask about the two holes that the screws actually thread into but the answer is what I expected. Thanks!
Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
I have 8 painted and 2 unpainted pieces left from this batch.

Not sure of the BMW part numbers on the clips but I ordered a bunch of them from amazon. If they fit I'll post the dimensions of them.milarsky wrote:I hate to ask for a part number for the screw clips.

To anyone interested, I highly recommend one of these! Not made of some flimsy air duct aluminum, this is the real deal. +1 for quality here

Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
Thank you all for the kind comments.
These screw clips will work nicely with #8 screws for those two holes I previously mentioned. (Size: 18 x 12 x 4mm/0.72" x 0.48" x 0.16"(L*W*T)) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M1 ... UTF8&psc=1. If you want a couple just let me know.
I have 6 painted surrounds left.

Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
Will these work/fit a RHD E28?
Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a mirror-imaged surround would require one be made with all the bends done opposite of a RHD piece.
Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
I believe that is correct. These surrounds are just 16 gauge sheet metal so you should be able to re-bend them the opposite way.
Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
received my two surrounds. They are very nice. Thanks for undertaking getting these made!
Happy Motoring!!

Sorry but the painted surrounds are all gone. I do have 2 unpainted surrounds left. I'm planning on starting the process for another batch later this month.

Re: Any interest in a laser cut light switch surround?
I’d be interested in one with the semi-crinkle finish. When will you have another batch done?
