Blimey !!! there are three of them. That £357. Can buy a lot of Humbrol paint for that !

Thanks as I am still considering it - even with the cost. I think it's nice to be a bit individual because as they say "you can't take it with you".

Oh, on that subject I was listening to a programme on the radio only yesterday where they were talking about funerals and that you can now get custom coffins with boxes and storage places to put stuff you do want to take with you, seriously !!!

Apparantly the instructions come with a warning that whatever you package up you can't get back.

Now where did I put my keys?

Hmmm, coffin with storage? Not sure I’m bothered about taking stuff with me!

Here’s the pdf. I can usually sweet talk 10% discount for spares if you do go ahead.

Handy Andy, you may want to consider some bezels, e.g.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Interior-Outle ... +vent+trim
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Mazda-Cx ... Sw3WxaH82j
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Mazda-Cx ... SwehZaH81h
and possibly PlastiDip them to your colour of choice?

Right, I have had a look at the instructions, I didn't realise that I would have to dismantle the car to do it. Thanks again for the instructions - they have put me off. It is always better to know the size of the task before going "gung-ho". Could have given myself a right old headache.

Yep, well the ones from the Amazon seller do anyway, as one of the product images clearly shows the self-adhesive 3M tape strips that stick to the existing bezels. No need to dismantle anything, not too expensive, and easy enough to paint a different colour. You could get some paint made up to the same burgundy colour as the existing trim bits or choose something unique.
