As promised, some pics showing what it looks like in mine then.
I think the colour match is very good. My almond seats cast a hue over all the lower trim generally which makes pics difficult but the first one shows this hue along the bottom of the clock trim as well for comparison.
All in all a great enhancement over the mass of grey. I have also put covers over the dash top vents which I am pleased with. I hung everything up with blutack for a week just to be sure but I've absolutely no regrets.
Just a couple of points:
Packaging from China excellent.
I used 3M adhesive promoter as I'm not so sure about Chinese 3M tape. Works brilliantly. Nothing has lifted Summer and Winter.
Everything cleaned with alcohol wipes especially the corners to ensure tight fit.
Use a hairdryer to warm things up if fitting in cold weather.
Got them from here: ebay.co.uk/autoparts0522 at £22.80. (2 parts).
This is all the bling I need inside, just gives it a bit of edge but just my personal opinion.
Hope all this helps.
John

This is all the bling I need inside, just gives it a bit of edge but just my personal opinion.
I know I said this but when I was at Guy Salmon's recently I noticed these seat switch covers on a new Evoque and new FFRR.
Now got them myself and they look really good in my opinion.
