Ten minute £6 cockpit bling mod

[mcbutler]

Made an impulse purchase from China, a crystal holographic replacement for my start button.
Cost about £6 and took literally 5 mins to fit.

That's a coincidence I just ordered one of those from Aliexpress a couple of days ago. Did you use the supplied clay to remove the old button?

How much bhp did that add op.

 

[Busterboo]

Cute, but I can't see mine anyway.

I did, took about 4 attempts but the button pops out, you then just carefully unclip the end cover and clip the new one on. Just make sure you put the new one on the right way around, you will see what I mean when you do it.
I am thinking about getting a matching one for my iDrive, than maybe some swarovski seat covers with matching number plates

Goes very nicely with the wood trim.

How about a matching crystal iDrive button? seems a bit pricey for imitation crystal to me but still:
