Default V50/S40/C30 Silver/Chrome heater & radio controls

Folks,
would anyone be interested in some silver/chrome or brushed rings for their radio/heater controls?

I'm asking as I have a contact who will make them for me but will not do a one off.

If I get a few interested parties, he'll machine some for us.

Here are some pics for you to be critical over ;-)

The car in the pics is a German vehicle, please - no comments!

Please add your comments and especially suggestions on how much you would be prepared to pay for them?

In order to make this happen, 40 rings need to be made to make it cost effective.
That's 10 cars!
We're talking about 7 Euro's a ring.

I'd be interested if brushed silver were being made. The rubber on the stereo dials on my car are wearing away.

I would be interested in a set of the textured ones. Having had a quick look at my controls i think the bottom pair would have to be shallower due to the way the console curves.

Guys, we didn't quite get the numbers needed to make it work while doing a machine run.

On the positive side, I have just ordered some CFWerks aluminium bezels.
They're on sale at the moment 60 CAD.

Here are some installed piccy's from one of the US forums.
