Has anyone got any pics of the 'aluminium' finish vent surrounds and gear gaitor surround?

I think most people have the chrome version, I was going to get the Aluminium ones but as my G/F pointed out the chrome matches the interior door handles... Not sure if the photos on the Seat Accesories site are good enough to tell what they look like in flesh, I can only assume they look the same as the chrome but in a matt sort of finish, and the only advantage I can see to this is that they won't "fingerprint" as easily as chrome does..
It's up to you... Another advantage of getting the chrome ones is you can get chrome dial rings for the instrument panel to match them from the eBay...

The seat accesories site does not show the aluminium ones just shows the chrome. Are the chrome dial surrounds easy to fit?

Thanks, how much and where from?

I got them from another member on here that was selling up his modded parts, you can get them on German Ebay... (ebay.de) for some reason they never really appear on UK ebay... search ebay.de for "SEAT Tachoringe" and you should find them, although they seem to be rather expensive :confused:
