Hi
Muddy Mark - The heated mirror switch is actually a Spot Light switch, YUG000350LNF. That got me a blank switch with no label on it, then i got a set of switch labels from vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk ref:SYM, they are on a transparent sheet so i took the heated rear window sticker and cut it out and rotated it 90 degrees. I was in a rush and didnt cut it as tight around the symbol as i could have so next time i order something from them i'll get another sheet and do it again, they are only £1.62 a sheet. Don't know what i'm going to do with the other 148 symbols on the sheet!! 
Naks - I'll try and do something over the next week for you. If you are keen to do it then the main tool you need is something similar to a Dremel with some cut-off discs to attack the fascia with. Also pick up some sheets of perspex, A4 size should be enough 1.5mm & 3mm thick & some PVC solvent weld cement. If it sounds a bit heavy going I'll make you one up for a lot less than 900Euros!!
From my experience of fitting the unit, if you decide to buy the one from the german site make sure it fits the stereo you want to install. I made mine to take the full double din unit including the surround with a standard double din cage whereas i can see theirs just takes the head unit with their own double din size cage. I also wanted to keep the hazard light switch on the centre, i didn't want to cut into the fascia sides as they have done as i preferred mounting the window & heated seat switches on the cubby box which feels more natural anyway. There are a few minor alterations you have to make to the dash, mainly the clock & original radio support. I'll dig out the photos and get typing. Phil |

Hello. What offset are these wheels? Have you lifted the suspension?
