Default Seat switchpack button chromed!

Finally got around to putting them in today. All 4 seats, 13 buttons in total. Pics are of driver's seat, passenger's and one of the rear seats.

That does look kinda cool! Where did you get that shift knob that matches the Peruvian Boxwood inlay?

Thank you. In 2008, Jaguar started chroming the two larger buttons, but not the smaller ones. After seeing them on Arden recently, I decided they were a must have.

I really wish I had done all of this when I bought the car, so I could have been enjoying the upgrades. Oh well.

The shift knob I have always had, it is genuine matching burl wood, with the inlay and was made for me by by Philip Chaplin of www.britishautowood.com The original one, of course, never matched the car as none ever do. Worth checking out his work, some amazing stuff, he can make anything. He even makes burl wood inserts for door panels to replace the stock leather.
